The Rolex Trophy was a golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, that is played in Geneva, Switzerland. It was played annually on the Challenge Tour since 1989.
Unlike many Challenge Tour events, the Rolex Trophy has been played at the same venue, the Golf Club de Genève, every year.
It is a limited field Pro-Am event. It used to feature the top 32 in the tour rankings plus four invitees, but the number of players has more recently been 42. One unusual feature was that only the prize money of the top 20 players counted towards their Challenge Tour rankings, although all entrants receive prize money.
Rolex's long-term commitment to the Challenge Tour began with the Rolex Trophy which has been part of the Challenge Tour's schedule since the inaugural season in 1989, however the support will now be concentrated on the Grand Final...
Following the decision to cancel the Rolex Trophy that had been scheduled for August 19–22, Rolex has offered to repurpose the tournament prize fund to benefit the wider Challenge Tour schedule and its members in 2020.
