In an industry long led by brands with decades of expertise and success, backed by world-class players, McLaren Golf has approached its entry into the sport with the same attitude and ingenuity as its production supercars and hypercars, as well as its championship-winning race programs. Dreamed up by a dedicated team of golf industry experts alongside PGA and LPGA professionals Justin Rose and Michelle Wie West, the new venture officially launched in Miami alongside Formula One’s Miami Grand Prix and the PGA Tour’s Miami event, a symbolic coming together of McLaren’s worlds. The new collection features two new iron sets, Series 1 and Series 2, both of which utilize an advanced Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process to unlock the same precision philosophy that applies to McLaren supercars.
The Series 1 irons are McLaren’s take on a classic Tour blade. At first glance, they’re clean and compact, but are designed not to behave like old-school blades. The use of MIM allows for better consistency across the face without losing that soft, responsive feel. A lot of that comes down to internal weight. There’s tungsten built into the head to help stabilize launch and reduce dispersion, while McLaren's structural mesh redistributes mass for better forgiveness without sacrificing shape. All in all, the Series 1 is clearly aimed at low-handicap players who want full control but aren’t against some modern tech working in the background.
The Series 3 irons sit more in the players' distance category, focusing more on speed, forgiveness, and control in a way that’s more approachable and less intimidating. Like the Series 1, they still use an MIM construction, but also feature carbon fiber elements that help fine-tune weight and improve feel. That carbon back helps manage vibration and supports the internal system, giving the club a solid, consistent feel through impact. Players are getting more distance and forgiveness compared to the Series 1, but without completely giving up control.
Both sets are priced at $375 per club and are available through select custom fitting retailers or online at mclarengolf.com, making them easy to spec out if you’re thinking about upgrading your bag.
