The 845 name carries more weight than you might expect from a budget set. Back in the late 80s, the Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scot was one of the best-selling irons in golf, a club you'd find in the bags of everyone from weekend hackers to tour pros. The 2020 845 is a different animal from a different company, since Dick's Sporting Goods now owns the Tommy Armour brand, but the idea is similar. Give the average golfer a playable, forgiving iron without the premium price tag.
And that's really the pitch here. The 845 is a game improvement iron sold at a price point well below what TaylorMade, Callaway, and Ping charge for their equivalent sets. You give up some things at that price, like the latest face tech and broad custom fitting options. What you keep is what matters most for mid and high handicappers: a generous cavity back, plenty of offset to fight a slice, and a sole wide enough to rescue thin and heavy strikes.
Because it's a Dick's house brand, you'll only find the 845 at Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy. That limits resale value and fitting choices, but it also means you can walk into a store, hit it side by side against sets costing twice as much, and decide if the difference is worth the money. For a lot of golfers, it isn't.

About the Tommy Armour Golf 845
The 845 follows the standard game improvement formula: cast stainless steel construction, a deep cavity back that pushes weight to the perimeter, and a progressive set design where the long irons are built for launch and forgiveness while the short irons tighten up for control. The topline is on the thicker side and there's visible offset at address. Better players will notice both. The golfers this club is built for mostly won't, and the payoff is a head that resists twisting when you catch one off the toe. Stock builds keep it simple, with a limited range of shaft and grip options rather than a full custom matrix. That's part of how the price stays low. The finish and shaping are cleaner than you'd expect at this price, and nothing about it screams budget from a few feet away.
Who Should Play the Tommy Armour Golf 845?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers who want real forgiveness without paying $900 or more for a name-brand set.
- ✓New golfers buying their first full set of irons who aren't ready to commit premium money to the game yet.
- ✓Anyone replacing a set that's a decade old, since even value-priced modern irons will launch higher and fly straighter than early-2010s clubs.
- ✓Players who slice the ball and benefit from offset, rather than low handicappers who work the ball both ways.
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Are the 2020 Tommy Armour 845 irons the same as the original 845s?
No. The original 845s Silver Scot from the late 1980s was made by the original Tommy Armour Golf company. Dick's Sporting Goods bought the brand and relaunched it, so the modern 845 shares the name and the value-focused spirit, but it's an entirely new design from a different company.
Where can I buy the Tommy Armour 845?
Only at Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy, in stores or online. Tommy Armour is a house brand, so you won't find it at other retailers or independent fitters.
Are the Tommy Armour 845 irons good for beginners?
Yes, they're one of the better value picks for beginners. The wide sole, perimeter weighting, and offset are all there to make mishits playable, and the price leaves room in the budget for lessons, which will help your game more than any club.
How do the 845 irons compare to name-brand game improvement irons?
Head to head against something like a Callaway or TaylorMade game improvement iron, the big brands usually win on face technology, ball speed on mishits, and fitting options. The gap is smaller than the price gap, though. If you're paying half as much, you're getting well more than half the performance.
Can I get the Tommy Armour 845 custom fitted?
Options are limited. Golf Galaxy locations can help with lie adjustments and basic setup, but the 845 doesn't offer the wide shaft and spec matrix you'd get from a major manufacturer. If you have unusual specs, like being well above or below average height, factor that in before buying.
