Summary

McLaren Launches Irons

McLaren Golf launches irons made by metal injection molding, priced at $375 US, £360 UK, €420 Europe, with sales starting April 30.
The clubs sell via McLarenGolf.com, over 200 US fitting locations, and Club Champions sites in Crawley and Glasgow.

History

Historical Context

Titleist, founded in 1932, reshaped equipment standards when its Pro V1 ball debuted on the PGA Tour in 2000 and became the tour’s most used ball for roughly 20 years. That legacy of swift adoption echoes McLaren Golf’s 2024 launch of the $375 Series 1 irons with Justin Rose, signaling a new wave of high-tech club design.
