TAG Heuer was founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in Switzerland. They are more known for making luxury mechanical watches without batteries. The Connected series is a line of smartwatches that run on Google’s WearOS software. I don’t know the exact release date of the Golf Edition, but it has been around since at least 2020. TAG’s Connected line has gone through a few special editions including a collaboration with Porsche and Nintendo’s Mario.

TAG Heuer’s Connected Golf Edition is probably the most expensive golf watch on the market, but the details make you appreciate that extra cost. The case is on the larger side at 45mm, but I got to review this watch a few years ago and it doesn’t wear near as large as that number. The case is made from Titanium and finished with sandblasted DLC finish. The caseback features sensors for monitoring heart rate and other body vitals. On the right side of the case is a crown and 2 pushers that are used to navigate the menu and apps. The case is sealed and offers 50 meters of water resistance for casual swimming and getting caught in the rain on the course. On top of the case is a fixed bezel that is made from black ceramic for scratch resistance. It has an 18 hole scaled etched in it and is used with the golf app to keep track of what hole you are on. A touch screen AMOLED display is the dial it has a maximum resolution of 454×454 pixels (326ppi).

Inside the the case is the digital Calibre E4 “movement” that controls the Golf Edition watch. The 4 core ARM Cortex A53 CPU runs at 1.7GHz and on 64bit architecture. The Cortex-A53 is built for high efficiency and features four cores, each with an L1 memory system and a single shared L2 cache. Battery life on the Golf Edition is around 24 hours from the 440 mAh internal battery. The watch itself has bothWifi and Bluetooth 5.0 to connect to the internet and your phone. The Golf Edition can look like a more traditional watch with the TAG Heuer inspired watch face designs built in. The golf software has 40,000 courses loaded into the memory and gives distances through GPS. The watch connects to an app on your iOS or Android phone that has a great design and interface that just feels nicer than a lot of other golf apps.

When you open the white box you will find the Golf Edition watch and 2 straps. A white and black rubber strap contains green contrast stitching and a golf ball dimple texture. It comes together with a titanium push-button folding clasp that has a sandblasted DLC finish to match the case. The strap also has a magnetic ball marker that is integrated and can even hold a spare market if you lose one. Replacing those markers isn’t cheap as they are about $90 for 3. The watch comes with a black rubber strap to blend in when wearing it off the course.

The luxury watch demand has been high for years, but it doesn’t seem to translate to smart watches. The retail price on the Connected Golf Edition is $2,650 and you can get it right off TAG Heuer’s website. If you do want to save a little money, it looks like you can get a brand new one off the secondary market for around $2,000.

WITB Time Machine: Phil Mickelson’s winning WITB, 2021 PGA Championship

Phil Mickelson made history at the 2021 PGA Championship on Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course. At 50, he became the oldest player to win a major, breaking Julius Boros’s record. Starting the final round with a slim lead, Lefty faced tough competition from Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen. He pulled ahead with key birdies and a standout 366-yard drive on the 16th hole. Finishing 6 under par and two shots ahead, Mickelson claimed his sixth major and second PGA Championship. Many saw his win as an inspiring comeback, showing that experience and determination can still lead to victory in professional golf — and, sometimes, age is just a number.

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
