Tyrrell Hatton
Tyrrell Hatton, a very passionate and exciting player from England came onto the European Tour in 2014 and stormed to the top of the game since. He is currently 18th in the Official World Golf Ranking. After a top-5 finish in The Open Championship and his first European Tour win at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in St Andrews, in 2016, the 26-year old from Marlow, Buckinghamshire, defended his title the year after and confirmed his strength with a third victory the following week at the 2017 Italian Open.
“I’m excited to be part of the Audemars Piguet family”, said Tyrrell. “I really admire the brand, its watches and everything it stands for. They are pushing the boundaries of their art to the next level, just what I’m trying to do every day out on the course.”
Patrick Cantlay
Patrick Cantlay, former World Number 1 amateur, met extraordinary success as junior and college player. After three years away from competitive golf, Patrick came back in exceptional fashion in 2017. In November, the current world number 36 won his first PGA Tour title at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, his second event of the 2017-18 season.
“Audemars Piguet’s watchmakers create some of the finest timepieces, striving for the highest possible standards. I also work hard on my game towards the goal of being the best player in the world. It is an honor to partner with such a brand and share their values”, he said.
Wesley Bryan
Wesley Bryan constantly demonstrates his creativity on the course. Made famous through his viral golf trickshot videos as one-half of the Bryan Bros, the South Carolina native went on to prove his talent on the professional stage. The 27-year old was named the Web.Com Tour Player of the Year in 2016 owing to three victories in his first year on the Tour. Having secured his PGA Tour card in 2017, Wesley put together a fantastic rookie campaign including his maiden Tour title in the RBC Heritage and playing the quickest tournament round ever recorded, at 1 hour and 29 minutes.
“I’m proud to be part of Audemars Piguet’s Team which is made up of some of golf’s greatest players”, commented the world number 69. “Their watch design is just so different, bold and unique, which is very much my style and the way I approach the game”.
Matt Wallace
The 27-year old from Hillingdon, England, marked the start of the partnership with his career biggest win at the Indian Open last weekend. Matt won over fellow Dream Team member Andrew “Beef” Johnston, who is back in shape after a tough year last year. After the two Englishmen finished 11-under par in regular play, the par-5 18th hole at the DLF Golf and Country Club made the difference in a dramatic play-off. Matt ultimately secured the trophy with an impressive birdie on the first extra hole.
Thanks to his second win on the European Tour, Matt joins the top-100 of the Official World Golf Ranking. After six victories on the Alps Tour in 2016 and his first European Tour title at the Open de Portugal in 2017 as Challenge Tour member, the rookie proved his strength early on in his first full season on Europe’s main professional tour.
“I’m over the moon to team up with Audemars Piguet”, said Matt. “I’m really fascinated by what the brand stands for. They are always pushing the boundaries in their domain, just like what I tried to do on that tough course over the last four days!”
