Chatham Luxury Watches brought The Omega Trophy back to the fairways of the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC) for the second edition of the highly-anticipated competition. Both competitors and golf enthusiasts alike celebrated the tournament’s return to the rolling greens of the country – following a 4-year Covid hiatus – with a day filled with entertainment, camaraderie, and of course, top-tier competitive golf.
Omega is a name long established with luxury timepieces, but also in association with sport – golf in particular aligned with the brand’s philosophy of precision and distinguished history.As title sponsor of the prestigious Omega Masters and timepiece of choice for some of the game’s biggest hitters, it was only inevitable that Chatham Luxury Watches – authorised dealer for Omega in Sri Lanka – would bring together the luxury brand and the country’s most esteemed golf club to create a world class golf tournament.
This year, 138 people took part in the Omega Trophy, making up 46 teams playing in the 3-person Texas scramble format.
All teams were vying for top prize: an all-expenses-paid trip for the winning team of three to watch the OMEGA European Masters 2024 in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, with the added incentive of the opportunity to play at the 9-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course.
The euphoric winning team comprised Ranil Pathirana, Rathven de Livera and Suranga Palliaguruge. The first runners-up were Anusha Senadhira, Sachin de Silva and Sharon Fernando and second runners-up were W.A.K. Fernando, Mahela Jayawardane and Kapila Dandeniya.
