This popular Tiger Woods-inspired TaylorMade club arrives at retail

Tiger Woods didn’t invent the long iron, but he used them to run roughshod over the competition in his prime. As most of his peers embraced fairway woods and high-loft hybrids, Woods continued to eschew technology for tradition.

It wasn’t until the last several years that Woods finally embraced the idea of ​​using a slightly more forgiving long iron in competition—but even those iron profiles didn’t differ too much from the rest of his setup. During the 2022 PGA Championship, Woods added two TaylorMade P770 long irons to tackle Southern Hills, including a rarely seen 2-iron.

At the time, the 2-iron wasn’t even available at retail. (Of course, whatever Tiger wants, Tiger gets.)

It’s not uncommon for Tour-only products to show up in Woods’ bag and never make it to retail. But when it comes to the 15-time major winner’s 2-iron, golfers will have the opportunity to try it — provided they have the ball-striking chops.

As TaylorMade announced Thursday, a limited number of Woods-inspired P770 2-irons will be available to the public. The catch? You must be a MyTaylorMade+ subscriber.

The 2-iron retails for $249.99 and comes with a Mitsubishi MMT 105 graphite shaft, making it a great second or third option off the tee. The hollow club features TaylorMade’s SpeedFoam in the cavity to improve speed and feel. But don’t expect much in the way of abundant forgiveness. The overall profile remains compact with a modest amount of offset – two characteristics Woods prefers to see in his irons.
