WOTW: Davis Riley’s Rolex Submariner in Black Ceramic
Davis Riley got his first PGA Tour win this weekend at the Zurich Classic. Riley, and his partner Nick Hardy, won the team event by two strokes. During the celebration and trophy presentation, Nick went with the bare wrist, while Riley looked to be wearing a new Rolex Submariner in black ceramic on his.

The Rolex Submariner is quite possibly the most recognized and popular watch in the world. When someone says the word “watch,” I feel like the Submariner is what most people picture in their minds. In 1953 Rolex introduced the Submariner to the expanding recreational dive market. With advancements in technology, scuba gear had really taken off and many were enjoying the new hobby at deeper depths. So Rolex set out to create a dive watch and the Submariner was the first to 100-meter water-resistance rating. Since then the Submariner has been one of the biggest sports watches in the world. The most recent update to the Submariner happened in 2020 with a new case but it looks like Davis might be wearing the previous version that was in production from 2010-2020.
The previous generation Submariner features a 40mm case made from solid 904L stainless steel that Rolex calls Oystersteel. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant in normal forms, but 904L takes that up a level to ensure that it can stand up to constant use in salt water. The crown on the right side screws down with Triplock seals and is protected by slightly smaller crown guards. These crown guards look to be a little on the larger side and were slimmed down slightly on the newest 126610 reference. The case back is also solid Oystersteel and threads into the case to protect the movement from the outside. An Osytersteel bezel is unidirectional and will “click” 120 times on a full rotation. A black Cerachrom insert contains a 60 minute divine scale and will not fade with exposure to UV light and saltwater like the older aluminum bezels. A black dial is fitted with large hour markers, made from white gold, and filled with Chromalight for a long-lasting blue glow in low light. The Submariner can be had with or without a date and Riley’s Sub does have the date window at 3 0’clock. The date is covered by a magnifying lens on the sapphire crystal and switches over instantly at midnight.
Rolex’s Calibre 3135 is a classic movement that is reliable and very accurate. The 3135 is a self-winding automatic movement offering a 48 hour power reserve. KIF shock absorbers minimize the effect of quick movements and a Parachrom Blue hairspring won’t be affected by temperature or exposure magnetic fields. Like all Rolex movements, the 3135 is a Swiss Certified (COSC) movement to ensure accuracy. The Oyster bracelet is famous in its own right as it has been around for decades. The bracelet is made from 3 flat links of solid Oystersteel with a brushed finish. Again, Riley’s Submariner looks to have the older, thicker lugs and narrower bracelet. Holding the bracelet together is a folding Oysterlock clasp that contains Rolex’s Glidelock system for extending the bracelet without using tools. The Submariner is highly sought after and people have been on a waiting list for years to get one on their wrist. If you are lucky enough to wait it out for the new reference, then you can expect to pay $10,250 for a Submariner Date. The Submariner holds its value very well and even getting the previous generation on the secondary market will set you back around $13,500.
GolfWRX is on site this week at the Memorial Tournament, with both Alistair Cameron and Tour Photographer Greg Moore on the ground in Dublin, Ohio, where a strong field is assembled to pay homage to the Golden Bear.
In addition to WITB galleries, we’ve already been treated to an in-hand look at Tommy Fleetwood’s new TaylorMade Spider putters.

Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.

PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole
Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.
Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!
Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.
Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.
Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!
Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.
Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.
Kaneko’s Suitcase

- Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro
Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.
The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin
Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.
