This past weekend, Rory Mcilroy made golf history. After years of near misses, he finally won The Masters and became just the sixth player ever to complete the Career Grand Slam. But while the win itself was unforgettable, the timepiece on his wrist was equally noteworthy the Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award.
A Grand Slam, Finally Complete
At 35 years old, Mcilroy has long been one of the sport’s elite, yet Augusta National has eluded him, until now. In a thrilling playoff against Justin Rose, McIlroy delivered a career-defining victory and added the iconic green jacket to his résumé.
"This is the best day of my golfing life," said a visibly emotional McIlroy after the win.
Snoopy on the Wrist: The Watch That Stole the Spotlight
Throughout the tournament, Mcilroy wore the Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award a highly collectible timepiece commemorating Omega’s contribution to NASA’s Apollo 13 mission. Featuring a blue ceramic bezel, laser-engraved silver dial, and a rotating caseback with Snoopy orbiting the moon, it’s a watch that blends storytelling with cutting-edge design. It’s no surprise it’s become a favorite among collectors and space enthusiasts alike.

What Does a Masters Champion Actually Get?
Aside from prestige and legacy, Mcilroy took home a treasure chest of iconic rewards:

Gold Medal & Trophy Replica – traditional prizes awarded to all Masters winners since 1934.
$4.2 million in prize money – the biggest first-place check in Masters history, part of a record $21 million purse. (His caddie and lifelong friend Harry Diamond likely earned a 10% share – about $420,000 for the week’s work.)
