To date, the Scotsman Scott Brash, Rolex Testimonial, is the only one to have accomplished this feat, in 2014-2015.
Launched in 2013, the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping was initially made up of the Majors from Aachen, Calgary and Geneva. In 2018, The Dutch Masters joined this Grand Slam, which now has two grass competitions, AixlaChapelle and Calgary, and two indoors, Geneva and BoisleDuc.
Created in 1967 and organized in the medieval town of BoisleDuc, The Dutch Masters attracts the world's elite. This event combines the best of show jumping with the quintessence of dressage. It is considered the main indoor equestrian circuit in the Netherlands. Since 2014, Rolex has been Main Sponsor and Title Sponsor of The Dutch Masters Grand Prix. The 2024 edition takes place from March 7 to 10, culminating in the Rolex Grand Prix on Sunday, the first major show jumping competition of the year counting towards the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping. Testimonial Daniel Deusser has already won this event twice in 2015 and 2022.
Within the famous Soers complex, competitors and spectators take part in the CHIO Aachen in an effervescent atmosphere. Show jumping, dressage, eventing, aerobatics or even driving, the world elite meets at the beginning of summer to offer the public a unique experience. AixlaChapelle constitutes a model of the equestrian tradition and excellence that Rolex has supported for more than twenty years.
The spectacular setting of the CSIO Spruce Meadows 'Masters', located in Calgary, Canada, echoes the demands of its course where the best show jumping riders and horses on the planet compete. Rolex has the honor of being Official Sponsor of this event considered by enthusiasts as the benchmark horse show in North America and Presenting Sponsor of the CPKC 'International' Grand Prix, counting towards the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.
For almost thirty years, Rolex has been Presenting Sponsor of the CHI Geneva, one of the most prestigious equestrian competitions in the world. This event brings together exceptional riders within the largest indoor track in the world. Also known as the Concours Hippique International de Genève, it was created in 1926. In 2019, it was voted best indoor show jumping competition, for the tenth time, and best indoor cross event, for the first times, by the illustrious magazine L'Année Hippique, according to the votes of riders, journalists and personalities from the equestrian world. The Rolex Grand Prix and the Rolex International Jumping Riders Club (IJRC) Top 10 Final are among the highlights of the competition.
