The Manhattan Masters
Audemars Piguet’s Dream Team Takes Golf to New Heights
Audemars Piguet, the oldest fine watchmaking manufacturer still in the hands of its founding families, have since 1875, written some of the finest chapters in the history of Haute Horlogerie, including a number of world firsts. Recently, the Swiss haute horlogerie brand sent eight of its golf ambassadors on an incredible mission, the Manhattan Masters.
In the city that never sleeps, Ian Poulter prepared an implausible challenge for his fellow Dream Team members, Wesley Bryan, Patrick Cantlay, Emiliano Grillo, Tyrrell Hatton, Andrew Johnston, Xander Schauffele, and Peter Uihlein.
Gathered on a rooftop facing Manhattan’s skyline, Audemars Piguet’s
pro golfers showed off their skills and competitiveness in astonishing fashion. Their mission: firing glowing golf balls into Manhattan’s night sky to reach a moving target. Four highly skilled drone pilots, manoeuvring in absolute synchronisation, controlled the glowing target net in an extraordinary display of teamwork and technological power.
With this rule-breaking and innovative production, Audemars Piguet shows once again its dominant role in pushing the sport’s boundaries. Such a unique experience fosters an exceptional sense of camaraderie among this team of exceptional talents, which further includes pro golfers Bud Cauley, Darren Clarke, Paul Dunne, Branden Grace, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Romain Langasque, Renato Paratore, Vijay Singh, Henrik Stenson, Andy Sullivan, Matt Wallace, Lee Westwood, Bernd Wiesberger, and Danny Willett, as well as Tania Tare and Me and My Golf.
