Tiger Woods’ New TaylorMade Irons Are Sexy As Hell
- Updated: May 1, 2018
Tiger Woods unveiled a new set of TaylorMade irons this week, and as expected, they are sexy as hell.
While they look much like the popular P730s which are gamed by Justin Rose, Rory, DJ etc., the CG weighting has been slightly modified to suit the 14-time major winner’s needs.
I’ve spent time with the TaylorMade R&D and Tour teams on the creation and testing of several new sets of irons for me. I am excited to put my first set of TaylorMade proto irons in play this week.
Every set I have ever put into play is slightly different than the previous. It’s a meticulous process and this is the first phase of that process with TaylorMade. Getting the shape just right, the sole, the topline, grooves, grinds…everything.
So far so good, and I am looking forward to continuing that process with the team.

Woods will put them in play at the Wells Fargo Championship and then again at the Players Championship the following week.
The significance? It’ll be the first set of TaylorMade irons he’ll put into play since signing with them in January 2017.
“We have been working closely with Tiger on the development, creation and refinement of a set of TaylorMade irons that meet his precise standards and preferences,” said a TaylorMade spokesperson according to Golf Digest.
“As we continue to develop future iterations of Tiger’s prototype irons, ‘TW·Phase1’ marks Tiger’s initial transition into a TaylorMade set. This set was built to his meticulous specifications. Based on the positive feedback and excitement expressed by Tiger regarding upcoming prototypes, we are encouraged by the ongoing creation process and look forward to what’s in store for the next phase of Tiger’s irons.
“As we work toward finalizing Tiger’s new irons, there will be more information to come, including a release date for golfers everywhere.”
Can’t wait for phase 2!
