IWC Schaffhausen official timing partner

IWC Schaffhausen continues its cherished tradition and takes on the mantle of official timing partner for the 2026 edition of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. This year marks the sixth consecutive year of partnership between the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer and the prestigious Championship. Among the players is longstanding IWC Brand Ambassador Pablo Larrazábal.

Since 2001, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship has become one of the most prestigious and distinctive events on the international calendar. Held annually in St Andrews, Scotland each autumn, the Championship unites professional and amateur golfers. Its distinctive structure hosts two separate competitions: an individual professional tournament on the DP World Tour, and a Team Championship featuring professional-amateur pairings.

Marking 25 years of the Championship, it takes place from October 1st-4th, 2026, over three courses – the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Its distinctive format and historic, challenging courses create a lively atmosphere and sense of camaraderie unlike any other golf tournament.

Like clockwork, IWC Schaffhausen returns to the Championship as the official timing partner for the sixth successive year. Among this year’s professional players is IWC Brand Ambassador Pablo Larrazábal, who is sporting the new Pilot’s Watch Chronograph (Ref. IW378008) featuring a 43-millimetre stainless steel case with an olive green dial. The dial is complemented by white printing and gold-plated hands filled with Super-LumiNova®. For added versatility on and off the course, the chronograph comes with two straps – a five-link stainless steel bracelet and a durable olive-green rubber strap.
