Old thread but a bump to see if anyone is using these irons. I bought two sets over the winter and recently started using them. Must admit they are probably a little out of my league. I've been using old Armour 845s and those have a pretty small head but the PCB is quite a bit smaller. For a CB they are small and thin, I've seen bigger MB's, and they're really light. Noticeably lighter than the 845. I've been on the course with them a few times and the scores didn't inflate or anything to will continue to work with them. Not as unforgiving as I thought they'd be. A mishit is a mishit and the 845s weren't disguising that either. Amazingly accurate is the big difference. Anything that's a half decent strike heads in the intended direction and carries the estimated distance. A mishit just lands short of the target but holds the line. I really like the feel of the DGS300 with the forged head, smooth and quiet. I had considered the 588 CB and I thought the PCB was a good compromise that I can experiment with. As mentioned the grooves are huge, the 8-PW really tears up balls.

I have a set of pcb tour irons that I impulse bought new about 10 years ago because I had always wanted to try forged cavity backs.

Like a few of you I can't hit them consistently enough so they got dropped after about 20 rounds and haven't seen the light of day since. The smallish sweet spot is just not forgiving enough for my swing.

I've just dug them out and googled for my original thoughts on them and damn if it isn't tempting to try them out tomorrow.  The event is American Foursomes so probably not fair to my partner to inflict that on him lol.

From my post in Jan 2004...

"Picked up a set of forged Macgregor Tourney PCB Tour's last week. (

I was using Topflite XL2000's which are oversize, huge cavity, game improvement clubs ( http://www.golfclubreview.com/xl_2000.htm ).

Great clubs but I had been toying with the idea of getting something new - I wanted to see how sweet forged heads feel and I thought the extremely forgiving nature of the XL2000's was resulting in my ball striking getting a little sloppy since there was not much punishment.

So when I saw an add for forged Macgregors on the back page of the courier mail for $599 a few weeks ago, I was drawn in to golf world to have a closer look (it didn't say they were CB's and my game isn't up to blades.)

The PCB Tours are not a current Macgregor model - about 2-3 years but Golf World had some brand new sets with DG S300 shafts and golf pride velvet wraps. They looked boo-t-ful...sleek traditional, nice chrome finish. They felt great at address...but could my 15hcp hit them consistently? The heads and the cavities were much smaller than my existing clubs but I decided to give em a whirl for 3 months. I could always sell em on if the experiment didn't work.

Well 1 range session and 36 holes later and the experiment is over. I have been flushing them most of the time, occasional mishits still get quite a bit of forgiveness. I can work the ball left and right. Trajectories are quite high even tho the lofts are 2 degrees weaker in the long irons and 3 degress in the long irons. But I have always had a high ball flight.

Maybe it's the extra focus that you get with new equipment but I have been hitting these so consistently well I'm removing the safety net and selling my other irons.

Golf is always fun but new equipment puts a spring in your step and a smile on your face!!"

Haven't touched mine since earlier in the summer. Far and away the most unforgiving clubs I've ever taken on the course. Massive inconsistencies with distance if you aren't an above average ball striker. As I mentioned in June I've played more forgiving MB's. Really small heads. The 8i is about the size of a MP-4 5i.

MacGregor Irons History

MacGregor Golf has a long storied history, filled with major victories (59), and had the greatest golfers to ever play the game using their clubs. Sadly, young golfers likely don’t even recognize the name.

How? And why?

How is it that the manufacturer with the second most major victories has zero presence in today’s golf world?

Many ownership changes, sketchy management decisions, overproduction, and the eventual sale to become a house brand to a golf department store all contributed to the demise of this once behemoth golf brand.

MacGregor started out in 1829 as a Last company. A Last is a wooden foot shape used for shoe manufacturing, which oddly transitioned well into clubmaking. In 1910, MacGregor became a big player in clubmaking, while being the largest shoe last maker.

By the 1920s MacGregor committed to just golf, and had record breaking years mass producing golf clubs. The Great Depression forced MacGregor near bankruptcy, and was forced to sell to Goldsmith.

From 1930 to 1960 MacGregor was the preferred club for the greatest to play the game. Players like Tommy Armour, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret, and Ben Hogan had their loopers carrying MacGregor for them.

Clubs made during this time, such as the MT irons and Eye-O-Matic woods have tech that is still used in clubs today. MacGregor seemed to be a step ahead of the game.

MacGregor was sold again to Brunswick (the bowling company) and was almost immediately run into the ground.

MacGregor’s savior came by way of the Golden Bear. Jack Nicklaus, with MacGregor in his bag, went on to win, and win A LOT.

Even though MacGregor seemed to be every golfer’s answer, they were sold again to Wickes Corporation. This purchase was mostly made because the owners and operators of Wickes were big time golf fans. Sadly they were in incredible debt.

Wickes was forced to sell the company to one of their staffers. None other than Jack Nicklaus. Jack won two more majors while owner , and managed to release amazing clubs such as the oversized CG1800 irons, and the famous Response ZT putter.

The beginning of the end was when Jack Nicklaus got into golf course design. An expensive venture, but a true passion, Jack sold MacGregor to Amer Group. Amer also bought Wilson around the same time frame.

Amer thought the best course of action was to no longer make quality, tour preferred clubs, but mass produced, low cost, high yield sticks. Popularity continued to decline, and MacGregor changed ownership hands several times through the 90s.

In the 2000s Greg Norman was named chairman of the board, and did his best to turn MacGregor around. Back to the high quality clubs of yesteryear. He ditched the cheap MacTec line, and brought back premium lines like MT and VIP.

Sadly the efforts were too little too late for MacGregor. Norman left MacGregor, and shortly after MacGregor was sold one last time. Now defunct Golfsmith purchased MacGregor for less than $2 million. An amount that would have been a slow offseason for MacGregor decades ago.

With a golf department store making MacGregor an exclusive store brand, the end was near. Golfsmith, for a decade, tried to make the business model work, but ultimately failed and filed for bankruptcy. Dicks Sporting Goods purchased the Golfsmith assets, and has not released any products to date with the MacGregor name on it.

For many years, MacGregor was unable to keep up with the innovation and marketing seen by Titleist, Callaway, and TaylorMade. The writing was on the wall long before the MacGregor brand faded away.

6 thoughts on “MacGregor Irons By Year”

Do you know anything about MacGregor Endur irons?

I have not heard of them. I tried to do some research and can’t find ANYTHING. Sorry man.

I have a complete set of MacGregor Ray Mangrum hy-power irons 2-9 They have to be prior to 1934 because they aren’t on your list. The set belonged to a club champion at a local private country club. FYI the set also has a 1,2,3 Wright & Ditson woods and a Bert Cochrane #9 hickory shafted putter. Plus a Atlantic Products golf bag vintage 1920s

Nice, sounds like it could be a good classic find.

I found a set of MT Tourney TR3A which was not in your list. Why not?

Good catch! I added them to the list for 1969. Thanks!!

MacGregor Irons By Year: Complete List!)

MacGregor claims to be “the greatest name in golf.”

Though bold, it’s difficult to argue with the claim — MacGregor clubs have been used to win 59 majors in the hands of all-time greats like Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.

Established all the way back in 1897, MacGregor Golf was one of the first American manufacturers of golf clubs. But despite experiencing explosive growth between 1930-1960, the company has declined off the back of several management mistakes.

As a result, MacGregor no longer remains a household name in the golf industry and has fallen behind brands such as Titleist , Callaway , TaylorMade , and Ping . In fact, many golfers below the age of 55 have likely never even heard of the once-great brand.

Nevertheless, MacGregor has produced an impressive collection of irons in its lifetime.

In this article, you’ll find a comprehensive list of MacGregor irons by year.

Ready? Let’s get into it!

MacGregor Irons By Year

MacGregor started manufacturing golf clubs in the 1910s, producing its first named irons in 1935. Most recently, they released the MT-86 OS and MT-86 PRO irons, which draw design inspiration from their early muscle-back irons from the 1950s — most notably the MT Tourney series.

Here is a list of all MacGregor iron releases:

MacGregor Irons: 1920-1949

Originally a manufacturer of wooden shoe lasts — the mold around which leather shoes are produced — MacGregor began making golf clubs in the 1910s.

In the early 1920s, the MacGregor Mashie Niblick was developed. Before the advent of the numbered iron set, every club in the bag had a unique name. Essentially, the term “niblick” was used for clubs that later became known as the “9 iron”.

However, the Mashie Niblick was met with controversy . Debuted at the 1921 Open Championship at St Andrews, the deep-grooved irons were used by the winner Jock Hutchison and imparted lots of backspin on the ball. The following month, the clubs were banned by the Rules of Golf Committee because of the excessive grooves.

Throughout the 1920s, MacGregor was experiencing rapid growth — the company was exporting over 100,000 clubs every year. But in 1929, the Great Depression put the Ohio manufacturer in economic turmoil, halting them in their tracks.

Fortunately, the brand recovered admirably well in the 1930s, and in 1935, the Pace-Maker series of irons was launched. Featuring a shallow and narrow head design, the club heads were forged and chrome-coated for feel and durability.

That same year, MacGregor introduced the Oakmont irons . And, in 1936, MacGregor launched the Tommy Armour TA-1 irons . Designed in collaboration with three-time major winner Tommy Armour, the TA-1 marked the start of a long collaboration.

MacGregor Irons: 1950-1979

In fact, the TA irons proved to be one of MacGregor’s best-selling clubs and received numerous iterations over the following years. The model evolved several times from the original TA-1 version, ending with the Tommy Armour Tourney 985 in 1964.

In 1950, the MT irons were designed for MacGregor by Toney Penna. These compact blades had a relatively thick topline and a low center of gravity to maximize launch.

FACT: From 1937 through 1959, more touring pros used MacGregor clubs and balls than all other golf equipment brands combined. Source: MacGregor Golf History & Catalogs, by Jim Kaplan

Following some tumultuous years under new ownership, MacGregor steadied the ship enough to sign world-number-one Jack Nicklaus on a 5-year deal in 1960.

That same year, MacGregor developed the FC4000 Tommy Armour SS1 irons . With a diamond-back design and leather grips, they helped Nicklaus to his first PGA wins.

Interestingly, the FC4000 naming scheme stood for Flame Ceramic — a heat treatment to 4000 degrees, resulting in the black finish on the clubface.

The 1960s saw several iterations of the MT Tourney series first introduced during the previous decade. In 1964, the MT Tourney FC4000 irons were developed, featuring the same heat treatment process pioneered at the beginning of the 60s.

In 1967, MacGregor launched the VIP series . Meaning “very important player,” these irons were designed for low handicappers and were used by Nicklaus in several events throughout the 1970s.

MacGregor Irons: 1980-1989

In April of 1982, Jack Nicklaus purchased MacGregor after having been heavily involved in the brand’s development during the 60s and 70s.

After the acquisition, Nicklaus assembled a team of the best club makers and designers to produce the following generation of golf clubs.

First, they launched the Jack Nicklaus Limited Edition irons . These exact irons helped Jack to two majors, and remain a desirable classic set for modern golf collectors.

In 1983, Nicklaus Muirfield irons debuted. These irons featured a distinctive curved muscle-back design, with the Jack Nicklaus signature a golf-infilled branding.

Check out the video below by The Vintage Golfer , where he tests them out:

Following this, MacGregor launched the Muirfield Lite irons in 1985. Created during the 1980s “super lite” movement, these were produced with a very light swing weight.

In 1987, the team released the Nicklaus Muirfield 20th irons . This limited edition set of blades was a modern take on an earlier muscle-back design. Over time, it has become somewhat of a collector’s item — a complete 11-iron set sold at auction recently.

MacGregor Irons: 1990-1999

In 1990, MacGregor developed the Heritage by Nicklaus irons . These were designed with an interesting curved cavity notch in the rear, distributing weight to the edges.

Two years later, the VIP Tour CB92 irons were launched. One of the first true cavity back offerings by MacGregor, these game improvement irons offered a forgiving option for the everyday golfer seeking relief for off-center ball strikes.

In 1993, the brand released The Doctor RX irons . With a quirky design that closely resembled the popular Ping Eye irons, it marked an excursion from the brand’s usual classic and timeless design language.

Towards the end of the decade, the Tourney MT irons received an update — this time featuring a slight cavity at the rear. Alongside this, MacGregor introduced the Tourney PCB and Tourney PMB irons , offering alternative cavity and muscle back options.

MacGregor Irons: 2000-2009

In 2002, MacGregor introduced the VIP V-Foil irons . Available in 1025-C and 1025-M variations, these cavity back clubs offered forgiveness for off-center shots.

Following this, the company refreshed the V-Foil series in 2004 with the M455 irons .

By 2005, the V-Foil line earned another upgrade in the form of the M565 and M675 .

In 2006, MacGregor launched the MACTEC Forged M685 . Providing excellent workability and improved ball speed, these clubs were certainly underrated.

Rounding out the decade, the manufacturer launched five new versions of the successful MT range: MT , MT OS , MT Mid , MT Pro-M , and MT Pro-C . This stacked lineup offered several options for golfers of varying skill levels.

MacGregor Irons: 2010-2019

In 2010, MacGregor Golf launched the VIP Forged irons . Though it extended the VIP line that was first introduced back in the 1970s, it was a cavity back rather than a blade.

Two years later, the M85i Tourney was developed. This marked a return to the Tourney name for the first time since 1999, featuring the distinctive rear design.

In 2015, MacGregor launched the M59 irons . With a modern black finish, these irons offered a thinner face and refined topline to invoke better confidence at address .

In 2019, the VIP and DX Carbon Steel irons were introduced. Unfortunately, these didn’t generate too much attention — overshadowed by releases from the competition.

MacGregor Irons: 2020-Present

In 2020, the CG3000 and DCT3000 package sets were introduced. Having suffered from a lack of sales with their premium launches, these two sets offered an affordable introduction to golf for players who are newly taking up the game.

That same year, MacGregor debuted the MACTEC X driving iron. This was shortly followed by the X2 version in 2021, featuring subtle refinements.

Most recently, MacGregor released the MT-86 irons . Available in OS and Pro variants, the MT-86 is a beautiful club that draws inspiration from its history. At the same time, it offers great forgiveness and high ball speeds as the ball jumps off the clubface.

Check them out on Global Golf below:

MacGregor PCB Tour

I bought these because I heard they were forged my Miura and look very similar to his CB 301. I have moved from Mizuno blades with R400 Dynamic Gold shafts to these, MacGregor PCB TOURS with S300. The MacGregors are 10 yards longer, slightly more forgiving, softer feeling and I'm getting more spin on the greens. I used to hit my 9 iron 150 yards. I assumed part of that length was due to the R400 shafts. I expected to lose distance and gain consistency with the S300. I'm more accurate now but the 9 iron flight goes 160 yards now. This may be due to slightly stronger lofts but I like it anyway! I always agreed with 'nothing feels like a Mizuno', but these feel better. (single figure handicap, sadly only an occasional player due to work commitments)

Macgregor PCB Tour Irons

Forged by Miura of Japan these clubs embody the true art of hand forged clubs. Quality is unsurpassed. For good strikers only, these clubs hit like butter. The flight is lower than most, but strong with massive spin and action. Easily works the ball left, right, high, low. This club exudes confidence at address. If you are lucky enough to find a set in good condition jump on them. They will be classics forever, timeless performers.

MT-86 Irons

Looks that take you back. performance that takes you forward.

Introducing MT-86 Irons

MacGregor’s reputation is synonymous with elite forged irons. We developed the all-new MT-86 PRO and MT-86 OS irons to revitalize that legacy.  

Both the MT-86 Pro and MT 86-OS forged irons pay tribute to the history of MacGregor with the brand’s iconic wingback muscle design and a clean, classic shaping that made the brand famous. Just as importantly, they take MacGregor iron construction to new heights with an advanced multi-material construction. 

The Modern Age Of MacGregor

MT-86 Pro and MT-86 OS irons are forged using 1025 carbon steel bodies that are fused with maraging steel 300 L-Faces that measure just 2 millimeters in thickness and wrap around the sole to maximize consistency on mishits. 

Inside the irons, the club heads are filled with a soft polymer “foam” to deliver the signature MacGregor feel. The construction also includes co-forged D17 tungsten weights inside the clubhead for added forgiveness and precise center of gravity (CG) placement in each iron head.  

MT-86 Pro Irons

Starting at $799.99

MT-86 PRO forged irons are designed for shotshapers with tour-preferred sizing, minimal offset, thin top lines, and a versatile sole design. 

MT-86 OS Irons

MT-86 OS forged irons are designed for shotmakers with confidence inspiring sizing. They were named to the 2023 Golf Digest Hot List as a Best Players Distance Iron. 

MT-86 Combo Irons

Starting at $899.99

This set combines the OS model in the 4-5-6 iron, and the Pro model in the 7-8-9-PW.

Built By Masters

Every set of MT-86 PRO and MT-86 OS forged irons are hand built by master club builders in the company’s facility in Henderson, NV. 

Only premium shafts and grips are used to build every set of MT-86 irons. Stock options include KBS Tour (steel) and UST Mamiya Recoil (graphite), as well as Lamkin Crossline grips.

Demo Program

By popular demand, we are introducing a demo program for our MT-86 OS and Pro Iron line. You'll pay $100 for a demo 7 iron, or $200 for demo 6 and 9 irons.

After 30 days (or sooner!), you return what you purchased for a refund to store credit. That is a full refund - we cover both outbound and inbound postage costs. Your store credit can be used for anything on our site, so if you don't love the irons, you can purchase anything else.

Change Text Size

Collin Morikawa has recorded back-to-back top-three finishes on TOUR, all while working through a series of equipment changes. It’s a testament to his creativity and adaptability.

Here’s a look at these changes.

Then he switched putters after the first round at Augusta National , trading a TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter for his familiar TP Soto blade-style putter. It was a fruitful adjustment as Morikawa proceeded to tie for third at the Masters, his best finish at a major championship since winning The Open in 2021.

Yet the changes continued. At the RBC Heritage, Morikawa switched out his former TaylorMade P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron for TaylorMade’s new, unreleased “Proto” 4-iron – which Rory McIlroy introduced at last month’s Valero Texas Open due to its high launch, feel and performance.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa said Wednesday. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

What exactly is this “Proto” iron? It remains to be seen. TaylorMade has yet to officially comment on the new club, leaving equipment fans to wonder whether it’s an upgrade to an older TaylorMade model, or something new entirely.

The “Proto” was the only 4-iron in Morikawa’s bag Tuesday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which he’ll play alongside Kurt Kitayama in the two-man team event. McIlroy, who will team with Shane Lowry at the Zurich, also had the “Proto” as the only 4-iron in the bag Tuesday.

Macgregor Tourney PMB irons - Miura forged?

I'm new to this site and I'm amazed at the wealth of information here. I hope someone can help me out. I just purchased a LH set of Macgregor Tourney PMB Tour iron heads. I've read that the PCB (Tour's) were Miura forged. Does anyone know if this model was forged by Miura? If it matters, these heads were issued to a mini-tour professional, and the grind on the sole and toe appears to be different from the retail version. Thanks for any insight on this matter.

I am no expert on this, but I think they were forged by Macgregor. You can call them and they will probably tell you who forged them.

MacGregor didn't do it's own forging. Most models were done at Hoffman in Tennessee, but the PMB were done at Cornell in Chicago another big time forging house from the old days that has now closed. The PMB were the last set they ever did.

I beleive the PCB's were Miura forged not the pmb's.

I want to thank everyone for the information. I have a set of Miura's in the bag now, so I need more irons like I need woman problems, but I've always thought the PMB's were, well, sexy. My wife has always joked that if I were to ever fool around, it better be with someone very sexy. Does this count?

I have a "RAW" set of PCB Tours. Absoulutly some of the best irons I have ever played. Great feel, forgiving enough, thin top line and not to much offset.

All the research I've done says the PCB's were infact forged by Miura

Get those things chrome plated, fletch. Otherwise they might rust! Seriously, its too bad MacGregor didn't make the PCB's in a lefty version. Based on eBay prices, right handers can own several sets of those for what I've invested in my Miura's. I looking forward to building the PMB's for comparison.

Never, I love the look and feel of the RAW finish. Ya they rust but you take a little steel wool to them and they are perfect. These have become my gamers replacing a set of yes TN-87's.

Go to Miura of Japan's website and you will see that exact model still exists.

I know they share a scary resemblance to the CB-301's

they look just like the miura 301's...
