  • Xander Schauffele has shown significant confidence in the Apex TCB irons, which has notably enhanced his approach game, making him one of the top strokes gained on approach shots in 2024.

  • Schauffele's success with the Apex TCB irons is evident as he won the Baycurrent Classic and secured two major championships in 2024 using this platform, underscoring its dominance on Tour.

  • Professional golfer Erik van Rooyen switched from traditional blade irons to the Callaway Apex TCB model about a year ago, citing improved dispersion and performance, which highlights the club's appeal even to skilled players used to blades.

  • The 2024 Apex TCB irons feature a 1025 tour cavity back body and a 17-4 tour-tuned face, combining technological innovation, feel, and control, with a compact shape and shorter blade designed for discerning players.

  • Schauffele has been using the Apex TCB 2024 model since its release, noting its larger chassis size and slightly more offset, which caters to players seeking a blend of performance and forgiveness.

  • The TCB platform has been dominant over the past five years, with major wins by Jon Rahm in 2023 and Schauffele's two in 2024, establishing it as a top choice among professional golfers.

  • Van Rooyen found transitioning from blades to TCB easier than expected, praising its aesthetic appeal, fit, and the improved consistency in his shots.
