Swiss luxury watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen is the official timing partner of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, taking place this week at the dramatic Leopard Creek country club in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Timepieces from IWC will be present around the course at this world-famous championship in its unique setting on the banks of the Crocodile River, overlooking the Kruger National Park, one of the world’s most iconic game reserves.

In addition, IWC will be represented on the course as professional players and Friends of the Brand Charl Schwartzel, Laurie Canter, Richard Sterne, Dean Burmester and defending title holder Christiaan Bezuidenhout are taking part in the tournament.

IWC has been at the forefront of watchmaking for more than 150 years. With its robust and precise chronographs or functional and easy-to-use calendars, the manufacture continues to redefine the standards of Swiss luxury watches in a reduced and timeless design.

One of the highlights of the Alfred Dunhill Championship this year is a special Hole-in-One Challenge, sponsored by IWC, on the par three, 7th hole, with an IWC Portugieser Chronograph as the prize for a hole in one.
