In joining TaylorMade in a multi-year deal (no financial information was disclosed), Woods will play the company’s metal woods, irons and wedges. Woods will work with TaylorMade’s club engineers and have a role in designing and developing a new iron model that will make its debut at a future date yet to be determined, according to a press release.

Haha right!?!?!? We'll never know.

I bet they end up looking like Nike irons.

[TollBros]

Obviously a traditional Mizuno type blade is on the way.

[Jarlaxle]

Agree, my guess is they will be a super traditional muscle back/blade design not unlike what Callaway put together for Rory. According to the press release they are going to document the whole process, will be cool to be a fly on the wall through the development and testing.

One failing company joining a failing pro...

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the talent from The Oven ended up at TM. Tiger's irons have always been a custom grind.

Where are current TaylorMade offerings forged?

You forgot that Endo's master forger will be supervising the process

[Cheesehead42]

So is he going to continue using his Nike's until the TM's get designed?

[TheMoneyShot]

So is he going to continue using his Nike's until the TM's get designed?

 

Yes

Yes. No indication he's going to use anything else in between. Nikes are still in the bag this week.

[Holy Moses]

Mack Daddy 4 wedges? Why not.

[reider69]

Word is that modor forged irons are as soft as hobbit churned butter.

Way ahead of you buddy....

 

 

....but apparently they need to do a "custom set that Tiger designs and we'll keep you all involved in the process via our awesome social media accounts which you should all be following and then release them in [un]limited numbers, yours for a mere $1199.99, so Tiger can move your needle too." God, what a fantastic day to be a marketing guy sitting around at TM.

[Sean2]

Not a lot you can do with a blade. I am guessing they will look familiar to what he has been playing.

[Ivyguy]

Wow, we went nerd pretty quick on this one.

 

Interesting though. I hope that this works well for both parties.

 

It's weird to think that with all of the movement brought about by Nike that he didn't end up with Miura or something.

You mean the flaming eye of sauron will

[CallawayLefty]

So basically it will be a Nike, copied from a Mizuno, crafted by Miura, forged by Amanda Dufner, stamped with Taylormade?

Somebody make a gif with Tiger taking off layers of stampings off his irons from Miura to Nike to TaylorMade

Miura don't pay

[bladehunter]

Designing new irons ? Yea like the ones he and Rory designed and stopped playing once the money dried up . Tiger isn't " designing " anything. He will hit one and say yay or nay. And what is sold at retail will be a facsimile of a facsimile of what he ends up playing.

Yes, traditional blade but they have to do something unique to it to get it to sell. Paying Tiger a few million, you can't sell enough blades to make money.

That's great!!
