Rory McIlroy on Ryder Cup<\/h3>\n

The Ryder Cup hosted two dozen multi-millionaire golfers in Rome last week and their success in the game was duly represented by the timepieces on their wrists. Whilst the European and USA players don’t receive a penny for participating in the biennial team matchplay event, their riches from competing on tour and subsequent sponsorship deals led to a fashion show of some of the most desirable watches in the world on the fairways of the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club.<\/p>\n

A number of players sported extremely expensive wristwatches for the three-day event – and TikToker Chad Alexander has been breaking down the eye-watering cost of each one of them on his social media channel.<\/p>\n

According to Alexander, world No. 2 Rory McIlroy was wearing an Omega Deville Tourbillon in rose gold. The classic-looking watch is out of reach for mere mortals, with a retail price of around \u00a3118,000.<\/p>\n

American wildcard pick Justin Thomas and Masters champion Jon Rahm were both wearing Rolex Sky-Dwellers with a blue dial. They retail at the more ‘affordable’ price of \u00a319,850.<\/p>\n

Collin Morikawa sported a Rolex Daytona in white gold that is worth over \u00a340,000. The American lost his Sunday singles match to Viktor Hovland 4&3, but that wasn’t the only contest he lost on the day.<\/p>\n

When it came to who was wearing the most expensive watch, Norwegian Hovland blew his opponent out of the water with a white ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak perpetual calendar, which can cost as much as \u00a3230,000. For that price, you would a least expect it to have the world clock function.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Irishman Shane Lowry bounced around the course in a Patek Philippe Nautilus annual calendar that can be picked up for \u00a3105,000 online.<\/p>\n

European veteran and British favourite Justin Rose wasn’t about to miss out on the action either. The oldest player in the competition was wearing a Rolex Day Date with a meteorite dial and baguette diamond hour markers.<\/p>\n

The watch comes in two versions with TikToker Alexander unsure which one Rose was wearing. The white gold edition retails for \u00a366,500 but the platinum choice is almost \u00a395,000.<\/p>\n

Rickie Fowler is always a class act on and off the golf course and that also extends to the timepiece on his wrist. The American showed off a Platinum Rolex Daytona that can be thrown on your own arm in exchange for \u00a382,000.<\/p>\n

European captain Luke Donald kept up his flawless appearance with a green dial Rolex Datejust that can almost be considered obtainable with a retail price of \u00a312,000. Perhaps he’ll treat himself to a watch like Hovland’s after masterminding victory over the Americans…<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood was one of the few players to actually be wearing a dedicated golf watch. The Englishman wore a Tag Heuer Connected Golf which can be yours too for a fraction over \u00a32,000. The total cost for all the watches worn by the Ryder Cup players amounts to well in excess of \u00a31m.<\/p>\n

None of these sporting superstars picked up a pay cheque for their exploits in Rome, with honour the only thing at stake in the Ryder Cup. But if any of them find themselves a bit short on cash this week, they could always sell their watches and tie themselves over a bit longer.<\/p>\n
