Did Adam Scott just announce that his new Miura irons are coming to retail?
On Monday, in a somewhat cryptic Instagram post – which probably wasn’t intended to be all that cryptic, really – Adam Scott officially aligned his personal brand with equipment manufacturer Miura Golf. He also revealed an official date – “3.28.23” – with a caption that reads “coming soon.”
But wait…what exactly is coming soon?
In case you missed it, Scott revealed a new set of custom Miura irons at The 2023 Players Championship. The irons were freshly delivered and still in the packaging on Tuesday prior to the event, so he didn’t put them into play just yet, but he did reveal the new look to GolfWRX, which you can see in the photo below.
Back at the 2022 Memorial Tournament, Scott first switched to a never-before-seen custom set of Miura irons, which were mysteriously stamped with only his brand logo.
He’s continued to use those 1-of-1 irons since then.
The new irons he unveiled at The 2023 Players Championship, however, revealed additional stampings: a Miura brand logo on the sole, as well as company founder Katsuhiro Miura’s Hanko stamp on the cavity. The addition of Miura branding suggested a strengthened relationship between Scott and Miura, but we were left to wonder what exactly it all meant.
Scott’s Instagram video post on Monday may have just given us a huge hint at the answer.

The “Miura x Adam Scott” text seems to solidify that there’s an official partnership of sorts between the two parties. Additionally, the March 28th date seems to suggest that Scott’s custom Miura irons may actually be coming to retail.
Is that what he means by “coming soon”?
It feels like that answer is a firm yes, but alas, the video post doesn’t outright say that the irons are coming to retail. Unfortunately, that means we’ll still have to await further confirmation from Miura or Scott himself.
But, if I had to guess what it means, I’d say there’s a big announcement coming from Adam Scott and Miura on March 28. Don’t be surprised if it involves a new set of Miura x Scott irons coming to the retail market, either.
Let’s hope I’m not wrong.

TaylorMade is leaning in even further to the retro vibes with the 2024 edition of its BRNR Mini Driver.
Patterned after the Carlsbad-based company’s iconic late 1990s Burner driver design, the 2024 BRNR Mini features similar copper styling and a retro version of the TaylorMade logo.
Featuring the same technology as its 2023 BRNR Mini Driver, the 2024 edition continues to play the hits that saw the unique club land in the bag of tour pros, such as Tommy Fleetwood and Jake Knapp.
- Check out details on the technology in our 2023 BRNR launch story.
- See more in-hand photos and read what GolfWRXers are saying in the forums.
Why play a mini driver?
In general, TaylorMade finds two types of golfers gravitate toward a mini driver. In the first case, it’s an addition to a standard driver: Players looking for a “fairway finder” driver without giving up too much distance that can also be hit off the deck. Second, TaylorMade recommends giving a mini a go to golfers who struggle to hit 460 cc drivers, particularly choppers. It’s a better alternative than a 3-wood off the tee.
Tommy Fleetwood’s endorsement of playing a mini driver
“For me, if I HAD to hit a fairway, I’m more comfortable hitting a driver than a 3-wood. I would tee the driver down, and I would hit a little cut, or a neck-y cut in the fairway. The 3-wood isn’t for that. The 3-wood, generally, is a pretty hot club that I’ll hit from 270 or 280 in the fairway on a par 5. You get some courses where a 3-wood is not always necessary. [With the BRNR] you put a normal swing on it, and I’m more comfortable hitting it straight. It’s a replacement for a 3-wood, basically.”
Pricing, specs, availability
TaylorMade’s new BRNR Mini Driver Copper clubs will sell for $449.99 in 11.5 (RH/LH) and 13.5 (RH) degree options, and they will be available for custom orders.

From the seller: (@hammertime1515): “Just one single iron set up for grabs today. Got these right before they quote selling them at the end of February. Only played 3 full rounds with them and a couple short range sessions. 7 iron shows the most wear and 8 iron has a sandy mark on the toe (ball striking out of winter wasn’t the strong suit) Just not right for me no matter how much I wanted them to be. Price is shipped and OBO……
P770 Black Out irons. 4-PW. —New Tour Velvet Align Midsize Grips —1/2” over TM standard —2 degrees upright —Standard Lofts —Dynamic Gold 105 X100 shafts —PW has never been hit, most of them have been hit sparingly.

Miura makes an unbelievable product. I tend to stick w Mizuno but would absolutely consider a clear blade from them. I could do without the AS branding but otherwise those are clean af
