Game Improvement Driver

The 845 name carries weight if you've been around golf long enough. Tommy Armour's 845s irons were everywhere in the late 80s and early 90s, and when the brand relaunched under Dick's Sporting Goods, the 845 badge came back with it. This 2020 driver is part of that revival, a full 460cc game improvement head sold at a price that undercuts almost everything from the major manufacturers.

Let's be clear about what this is. The 845 is a value driver for golfers who want modern forgiveness without a $500 receipt. There's no adjustable hosel, no sliding weights, no fitting cart full of shaft options. You pick a loft and a flex, and you go play. For a lot of mid and high handicappers, that's not a limitation. It's a relief.

The head is built to the full 460cc legal limit, which puts as much stability behind the ball as the rules allow. Mishits toward the heel or toe lose less distance and curve less than they would with a smaller, more workable head. That's the whole pitch, and the 845 delivers on it at its price.

• Mid to high handicappers who want a full 460cc head and real forgiveness without paying flagship prices.
• New golfers or returning players who need a dependable first driver and don't want to fuss with adjustability settings.
• Anyone who remembers the original 845s irons and likes the idea of the name back in their bag.
• Players who slice or mishit often and benefit more from a stable head than from workability they'd never use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Tommy Armour 845 driver adjustable?

No. The 2020 845 has a fixed, glued hosel with no loft sleeve or movable weights. You choose your loft and flex at purchase and that's what you play. It keeps the price down, but it does mean getting the loft right up front matters more than it would with an adjustable driver.

Is the 845 driver good for high handicappers?

Yes, that's exactly who it's built for. The full 460cc head is about as forgiving as the rules allow, and the low, deep weighting helps get the ball airborne and keeps mishits from curving as badly. It won't fix a big slice on its own, but it softens the damage.

Who makes Tommy Armour golf clubs?

Tommy Armour is owned by Dick's Sporting Goods, which relaunched the brand in 2017. The clubs are designed as house-brand equipment and sold through Dick's and Golf Galaxy, which is a big part of why the 845 costs so much less than drivers from Callaway or TaylorMade.

How does the 845 compare to a name-brand driver?

Head-to-head against a current flagship, you give up adjustability, premium stock shaft options, and some of the exotic face tech. What you keep is the part that matters most for average golfers: a 460cc titanium head with forgiving weighting. For many players the on-course difference is smaller than the price difference.

Is the 2020 845 driver related to the old 845s irons?

Only by name. The original 845s irons from the late 1980s were among the best-selling irons ever, and the modern Tommy Armour brand revived the 845 badge for its game improvement line. The 2020 driver shares the philosophy, forgiving clubs for regular golfers, but none of the original engineering.
