Keith Mitchell Has a Serious Watch Problem (And He Loves It)

On this episode of Talking Watches we're joined by PGA Tour Pro Keith Mitchell in St. Simons Island, Georgia, for an inside look at his passion for watches and the collection he’s built along the way. Coming off his best performance ever at the U.S. Open, he etched his name into golf history by becoming the first player ever to shoot level par (even-par 70) in all four rounds of a single U.S. Open. Mitchell reflects on his early start as a professional and how collecting has become a consistent thread through the travel, competition, and pressure of professional golf. From long weeks on the road to moments at home in Georgia, watches have become more than accessories—they’re markers of time, milestones, and personal meaning. In this conversation, Keith shares how his interest in collecting started, how it has evolved, and why it continues to grow alongside his career. He opens up about the pieces he reaches for most often, the stories tied to them, and the balance between practicality and passion. Whether it’s everyday wear or something saved for special occasions, each watch reflects a different part of his journey. This is a rare, personal look at one of golf’s most thoughtful collectors, and how a PGA Tour athlete finds grounding and identity through the world of watches.
