Rors Proto: TaylorMade releases Rory McIlroy’s Grand Slam-winning irons

Published

May 1, 2025

Rory McIlroy has been using a set of custom TaylorMade irons since he joined the brand in 2017. His irons are based off the P730 forged blade that TaylorMade launched in that same year. Rory had a few changes to the P730 that he requested, and TaylorMade engineers took those changes to the computers and created the Rors Proto irons he has used ever since.

An in-hand look at one of Rory McIlroy’s Rors Proto irons.

Following McIlroy’s completion of the career Grand Slam at the Masters, for a limited time, TaylorMade is offering these irons to the public!

Like the P730, Rory’s Rors Proto irons are forged from 1025 carbon steel, and the back of the iron features a milled concave section that runs from heel to toe. This channel allowed TaylorMade to adjust the trajectory and control of each iron so skilled players can work the ball precisely into the green.

The big difference on the Rors Proto irons is the TW2 grooves that are milled onto the face. The P730 irons used a milled face and MX-9 grooves (14 total) that spun a little less than the Rors Proto’s TW2 (16 grooves), the same used on the TaylorMade P7TW irons. Rory preferred a slimmer top line on the 7 and 8-irons as well. The Rors Proto irons look to be 1-degree stronger in loft and 1/4 inches longer than the original P730, but with the same standard lie angles.

On the hosel, TaylorMade will add four colored dots near the “Forged” text to commemorate the irons winning all 4 major championships.

TaylorMade will only take orders for the Rors Proto irons from today through May 15th, so club junkies will want to get their orders in soon if they want to own a set. The set will come 4-PW built to your specs, or you can order the same Project X 7.0 steel shaft and Golf Pride MCC grip that Rory uses. Price starts at $1,499.99 for the set and can go up depending on the custom options you select.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
