MacGregor is one of the oldest names in golf, and the Tourney badge is its most storied line. Jack Nicklaus won majors with Tourney irons. By 2012, though, MacGregor was a different company, selling value-priced equipment rather than tour gear. The M85i Tourney sits squarely in that second era. It is a game improvement iron built to be affordable, forgiving, and easy to hit, usually sold as part of a complete package set rather than as a standalone premium offering.
That context matters when you judge it. Nobody buying an M85i is choosing it over a Titleist blade. You are choosing it because you want a full set of playable clubs without spending four figures, and on that measure it holds up. The cavity back design, wide sole, and generous offset do what game improvement irons are supposed to do, which is get the ball airborne and keep mishits from being punished too badly.
Fifteen years on, these show up on the used market for very little money. For a beginner or a casual golfer who plays a handful of rounds a year, that is genuinely useful. Just go in with clear eyes about what it is and what it is not.

About the MacGregor Golf M85i Tourney
The M85i uses a perimeter-weighted cavity back with a wide sole, the standard recipe for forgiveness in this class. Moving mass to the edges of the stainless steel head raises the moment of inertia, so the face twists less when you catch one toward the heel or toe. The wide sole helps the club glide through turf instead of digging, which is a real benefit for players who hit behind the ball. Offset is noticeable at address. That is deliberate. Extra offset gives slicers a fraction more time to square the face, and most golfers in this iron's target market fight a slice. The topline is thick and the overall look is chunky compared to a players iron, but that visual bulk is where the forgiveness lives.
Who Should Play the MacGregor Golf M85i Tourney?
- ✓Beginners who want a complete, playable set without a big upfront cost.
- ✓High handicappers who need help getting the ball in the air and fighting a slice.
- ✓Occasional golfers who play a few times a year and cannot justify premium prices.
- ✓Bargain hunters browsing the used market for a functional starter set.
자주 묻는 질문
Are MacGregor M85i Tourney irons good for beginners?
Yes, that is exactly who they were built for. The cavity back, wide sole, and offset all work to make off-center hits more playable and the ball easier to launch. A beginner will get more usable shots out of these than out of a compact players iron.
Is the M85i the same as the classic MacGregor Tourney irons?
No. The Tourney name dates back to MacGregor's tour heyday, when players like Jack Nicklaus used the line. The 2012 M85i borrows the badge but is a modern value-priced game improvement set with no real design connection to those older forged clubs.
What are MacGregor M85i irons worth used?
Not much, which is the appeal. These were budget clubs new and depreciate accordingly. A used set in decent shape typically costs less than a single new premium iron, so condition matters more than price. Check the grooves and grips before buying.
Should I upgrade from the M85i as I improve?
Eventually, probably. Once you are breaking 90 consistently, you may want irons with less offset and more feedback. But there is no rush. Plenty of mid-handicappers play game improvement irons for their whole golfing lives, and the M85i will not hold back someone still building a repeatable swing.
Do the M85i irons come with steel or graphite shafts?
They were sold both ways, most commonly with steel in the standard sets and graphite in senior and ladies configurations. On the used market you will see both, so confirm what a specific set has. Slower swing speeds generally do better with the lighter graphite option.
