The Masters 2018: Bubba Watson wears incredible £585,000 Richard Mille watch at Augusta

Two-time green jacket winner has version made just for him and one of many features is a g-sensor that can tell him how fast he is swinging the club

BUBBA WATSON wears an incredible £585,000 watch made just for him during this year's Masters.

The two-time Augusta winner proudly showed off his luxury Richard Mille timepiece in the season's first Major.

And though Watson endured a tough time on the course - including when he putted into a bunker on the second hole - at least he looked good doing it.

Watson, 39, wore the RM 38-01 Tourbillon g-sensor model, of which only 50 were produced.

That allows the left-handed American to see how fast he is swinging the club and works up to a g-force of 20Gs.

It also features a strong titanium case which makes it light to wear and unobtrusive during his swing and boasts 21 jewels in its design.

Watson has worn the ultra exclusive watches since 2011 and had a previous model on his wrist when he won his first Masters in 2012.

All in all, the flashy piece of kit is way more expensive than any club in his bag.

And it even comes in Watson's favourite colour green, matching the two green jackets he has hanging up in his wardrobe.

Tennis superstar Rafa Nadal is also a huge fan of Mille's watches.

He wore a £720,000 piece - the RM 27-02 - in last year's Australian Open.

His, like Watson's, was designed specially for him and F1 stars Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button have also been known to wear the timepieces in the past.
