When asked to reflect on his relationship with Rolex. Fritz said, “When I was growing up, some of my family members owned Rolex watches which they treasured and all had worked so hard for and treated themselves to. Seeing those watches, I aspired to have the same success in sports, business, and life. When I turned professional, one of the first things my agent and I spoke about was trying to find the right long-term partners. The first dream partner I spoke to him about was Rolex.”
