TAG Heuer Professional Golf

Formula 1, Tennis or Golf: TAG Heuer is renowned for their cooperation in the field of sports. Following the joint development of the TAG Heuer Link Calibre 6 Limited Edition Tiger Woods (Ref. WJ2110) – another timepiece created specifically for golfers – the TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch was produced.

The first professional golf watch from TAG Heuer exhibits innovative technical details. It is now possible for golfers to sport a timepiece of their own without having to worry about it affecting their performance. Having been a brand ambassador since 2002, it was inevitable that Tiger Woods and TAG Heuer would embark on this cooperative development to create this specialised golfer's watch. Using the professional expertise and the unique insight of Woods, TAG Heuer was able to gain a deeper understanding of the true needs of professional golfers. Thanks to these breakthroughs, the TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch not only offers a lightweight watch with incredible durability, but also design.

The timepiece born from the impressive collaboration between golf professional Tiger Woods and the innovative watchmaking company TAG Heuer is something to be proud of. The casing of the watch consists of robust titanium whereas the bracelet is made of highly elastic silicone. The movement of the watch is durable in the sense that it can withstand the fierce momentum produced by the swinging arm of a golfer. Moreover, the bezel is made of stainless steel. The watch is waterproof up to 50 meters, meaning that it be sported on the golf course on sunny, as well as rainy days. An important element to note is the extra-thin high-quality quartz movement. Thanks to the inventive features of the watch, the titanium casing weighs 70% less than a conventional stainless steel watch. The weight of the watch plays an immensely important role since golfers rely on specific standards in order to achieve accurate results whilst engaging in the sport of golf.

In order not to restrict the movements or performances of golfers on the course, a major aim in the development of the TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch was ensuring that it was as light and as comfortable as possible. Consequently, the watch is optionally available with an elastic black silicone, an alligator python leather, or a classic fabric strap.

When it comes to the traditional design of watches, the crown of the watch is placed alongside the three o’clock marker. This detail can affect the performance of a golfer since it can upset form or irritate the wrist while engaging in the sport. Simplifying this problem, TAG Heuer changed the position of the crown to align with the nine o‘clock marker thus preventing irritation or unpleasant surprises. Furthermore, the bracelet of the watchband is integrated into the casing of the watch and, therefore, ensures an exceptional level of comfort.

As was to be expected, the Professional Golf Watch underwent extensive testing before it was introduced to the market. Furthermore, Tiger Woods examined the prototype of the watch when he wore it during the 2004 Boston PGA Tournament. The accomplished athlete has stated that he and TAG Heuer had run into several issues with the watch during the initial stages of production. However, the difficulties that cropped up only motivated the TAG Heuer team to ensure that the final design of the Professional Golf Watch not only meets but also exceeds the standards of golfers. Since the launch of the professional Golf Watch, professional players of the sport can be seen worldwide wearing the famous Swiss timepiece on their wrists. Thanks to the unique properties of the light and flexible TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch, professional golf players are able to engage in the sport with unhindered capabilities. Sport-related vagaries such as unexpected impacts or sudden movements do not affect the functionality or precision of the Professional Golf Watch. Furthermore, the longevity of the Professional Golf Watch has been proven through the extensive use of Tiger Woods' own.
