Game Improvement Hybrid

Tommy Armour is a name older golfers remember from the 845s Silver Scot, one of the best-selling irons of the late 80s and early 90s. The 2020 845 borrows that badge, but this is a different animal. It's a modern game improvement iron built and sold through Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy, aimed squarely at golfers who want forgiveness without a premium price tag.

And that's the honest pitch here. The 845 doesn't compete with a Callaway or TaylorMade on tech marketing, and it doesn't try to. What you get is a deep cavity back, a generous sole, and enough perimeter weighting to keep your misses playable. For the money, that's a hard combination to argue with.

If you're a mid to high handicapper shopping on a budget, or a returning golfer who doesn't want to drop four figures on a set, the 845 belongs on your short list. Just know what you're buying. This is a value iron that does the basics well, not a distance monster or a players club in disguise.

• Mid to high handicappers who want maximum forgiveness at a price well under the big OEM sets.
• Beginners and returning golfers who need help getting the ball in the air and don't want to overspend on their first real set.
• Slicers who benefit from offset and a face that's easier to square through impact.
• Anyone who remembers the original 845s and wants a budget-friendly set with a familiar name, as long as they understand this is a modern remake, not the classic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the 2020 Tommy Armour 845 irons good for beginners?

Yes, they're one of the better budget options for new golfers. The deep cavity back and wide sole are forgiving on the fat and toe-side strikes beginners hit most, and the price leaves room in the budget for lessons, which will help your game more than any club.

Are these the same as the classic Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scot irons?

No. The 2020 845 shares the name and nothing else. The original 845s from the late 80s was a milder cavity back by today's standards. The modern version is a full game improvement design with more offset, a wider sole, and a lower center of gravity.

Where can you buy Tommy Armour 845 irons?

Tommy Armour is a house brand of Dick's Sporting Goods, so the 845 was sold through Dick's and Golf Galaxy stores and their websites. Since it's a 2020 model, your best bet now is clearance stock or the used market, where sets show up regularly at low prices.

What handicap range are the 845 irons built for?

Roughly 15 and up, though there's no hard cutoff. Single-digit players will likely want more workability and a thinner topline. If you shoot in the 90s or above, the forgiveness is exactly what you should be playing.

Are the Tommy Armour 845 irons adjustable?

No, and that's standard for irons in this category. There are no adjustable weights or hosel settings. If you need a lie angle tweak or a different shaft, any club fitter can bend or reshaft them after purchase.
