The Bob’s Watches team met with Kurt Kitayama at his stopping grounds, the TPC Summerlin Private Golf Club in Las Vegas, Nevada, to ask him the questions everyone wants to know about his career and his growing watch collection.
Brief Overview of Who Kurt Kitayama is:
While he has also played other sports, including basketball, the California native has been golfing since he was five and officially turned professional in 2015, with his first pro title win following a few years later in 2018 at the PGM Darulaman Championship in Malaysia in 2018 during the Asian Development Tour.
Earlier in his golfing career, The Junior Golf Association of Northern California selected Kitayama as Player of the Year in 2009. He would later play with the Academic All-Mountain West team for several years while attending the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
Since then, Kitayama has added several professional wins to his resume, including PGA Tour wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2023, AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open in 2018, and Oman Open in 2019.
His current world golf ranking is #28.

What was your first luxury watch investment?

What watch is next on your wish list?

What’s it like being a part of the Bob’s Watches family?

Lol the high energy of this guy is insane, can’t believe he is a golfer 😂
🙃
Where can I buy the Bobs Polo that Paul is wearing, I have purchased about six watches from you all and love you guys. Bobs watches has started my Rolex collection and I do not want to be cured. Have a great day.
we couldn't love a comment more! Thank you for working with us to expand your Rolex collection. As for the Polo, send us your size and we'll get one to you.
Paul actually has a pretty good swing! I realize that Kurt was wearing Rolex watches to showcase them in this video, but I can't wear a watch when I play golf. I know Phil and Bubba do, but most golfers don't.
Kurt is great! He had no problem swinging his driver while wearing a Rolex.
I'm honestly surprised Bob can't afford a newer watch.
oh! What would you envision him to have on here?

Why not make your hard working cleaner, who’s in the background of several your videos an ambassador for your company.
