For $499, why wouldn’t you play Costco’s newest hit, Kirkland Signature player’s irons?
They feature a stainless steel body, an injected urethane insert and an internal tungsten weight. All of these features are comparable to the top brand names—at about a third of the price!
First, and this one is circling the internet, Costco’s iron bears a striking resemblance to TaylorMade’s P790. This is a fair comparison—except it is a shiny chrome version. A “chromed-out” iron is hit or miss for most golfers. I am not a fan and I’d argue most of our testers aren’t either.
Second, feel and sound go hand in hand. For $499, the Kirkland Signature player’s irons feel damned good and their sound is appealing. To me, it is on the more muted side with a distinct thud, exactly what I like. Feel and sound are perceived and subjective. What I perceive might be different from what you perceive. But from my perspective, these Kirkland Signature irons are impressive.
Premature accolades aren’t our style. I want to see how the Kirkland Signature player’s irons perform in our testing before passing final judgment. In the meantime, let’s see how the Kirkland Signature iron stacks up against my current pitching wedge, 7-iron and 5-iron.
We won’t forget what happened in the golf world this year.
Our expectation was for a long, drawn-out court battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. In the meantime, the tour’s designated events would get the best players together more often while LIV would go on quietly.
But on one unforgettable day, everything we thought we knew about the pro game flipped upside down. It was so stunning that the date of June 6 requires no additional explanation. It was, without a doubt, the day everything changed.
What happened between the PGA Tour and LIV was indicative of a dramatic year in golf. On more than a handful of occasions, something happened that few people had on their bingo cards.
To remember the year that was, here are the seven most indelible moments the golf world witnessed in 2023.

This year was full of excitement.
In some ways, golf became more divided. In other ways, golf became stronger and more united than ever. We had the pleasure of covering golf’s banner year from our front-row seat. As such, there were a lot of cool, interesting and even inspiring stories that we got to write.
Big or small, the impact these stories had on us go beyond the words on the screen. Here are the articles we loved to write (and share with you) in 2023.
