WHEN THE STARS
COME OUT TO PLAY

Last year’s Celebrity Masters was great fun and a huge success,
with OMEGA ambassador Michael Phelps and True Detective’s
Michelle Monaghan claiming the top spot. In 2018, the brand
will once again bring glamour and golf to the mountains, in the
second edition of the ”OMEGA Celebrity Masters”, set to tee off on
Saturday, September 8th following the tournament.

Known worldwide for their talents in entertainment and sport, the
chosen celebrities will now have a chance to show their precision
and skill on the iconic course in Crans-Montana. After the profes-
sionals have played through, the tournament will begin with 9 holes
of golf for some of OMEGA’s famous guests, followed by a putting
challenge for all celebrity players on the 18th hole after the last
flight. Star-filled fun that shouldn’t be missed.
