With the launch of TAG Heuer’s new Connected Caliber E5 x TaylorMade Edition this week, its golf connection reaches new heights.

Not everyone can be an F1 driver or regatta captain. However, many of us can, and have, picked up a tennis racket and learned to enjoy the game on some level. If you’re a player, here’s a quartet of unparalleled places where you can luxuriously over-shoot your serve.

As a relative newcomer to the classic car concours world, my trip to the season-opening event in sunny Italy last week was full of thrilling twists and turns. In more ways than you might expect, as you will see.

The 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport sheds the weight of its past, trading in old-school bulk and bling for a twin-turbocharged, stealth masterclass in living large.

Why fight the winter of 2026 when you can embrace it? A ride aboard one of these superb snow machines can certainly set up a pleasurable situation of love at first flurry.
