Black Friday Golf Club Deals 2026: Drivers, Irons, Putters & Prior-Gen Price Drops
Published: October 27, 2026 · Last updated: October 28, 2026
Quick answer
Black Friday 2026 is on 27 November. As of 27 October 2026, none of the club makers in this guide has published Black Friday 2026 pricing. In the clubs we cover, the clearest price drops followed a successor launch: PING cut G440 driver prices to $449 from a $599.99 launch (MyGolfSpy), and the 2024 Cobra Darkspeed X, which launched at $549.99, sells pre-owned from about $253 (2nd Swing). This guide tracks October 2026 baseline prices for 17 drivers, irons, putters and wedges from our reviews and marks each promotion as not yet announced until a brand or authorized retailer publishes it.
Prices verified: October 2026. Driver, iron and putter prices were checked on 24 October 2026 against the source named in each row; promotion status was checked on 27 October 2026. XS Golf did not physically test these clubs; this guide is a synthesis of manufacturer information, retailer prices and published reporting.
How Club Release Cycles Shape Black Friday Prices
Club prices move most when a successor arrives. Among the clubs covered here, Cobra announced its DS-ADAPT drivers in December 2024 as the successor to the 2024 Darkspeed family, Callaway followed the 2024 Paradym Ai Smoke drivers with its Elyte drivers in 2025 (MyGolfSpy), and TaylorMade launched the Qi4D family in January 2026, replacing the Qi35 (Today’s Golfer). TaylorMade released the current P790 irons in February 2025 (Golfalot).
Once the new model is on sale, the outgoing one is the usual candidate for a lower price. PING’s cut to $449 on the G440 drivers (MyGolfSpy) is the clearest example in our coverage; pre-owned listings, such as the Darkspeed X from about $253 at 2nd Swing, show the floor for an older head.
Some brands also set a minimum advertised price (MAP): the lowest price an authorized retailer may display, even when the checkout price differs. Club makers rarely publish these policies, so which models are covered is not confirmed here (N/C). A November discount on a current-season club is therefore harder to predict than a lower price on a prior-generation one.

The Vokey SM11 price comes from our intermediate players club guide. XS Golf has not yet published individual fairway wood or hybrid reviews, so this guide lists no baseline prices for those categories rather than unverified ones.
How to Judge a Holiday Club Price
- Check the generation first: a lower price on a model whose successor has launched is a different offer from a discount on the current season’s club.
- Compare against pre-owned: for prior-generation drivers, 2nd Swing listings such as the Darkspeed X from about $253 show where the used market sits.
- Match the specification: loft, shaft, length and lie decide whether a stock club suits you, whatever the price. Whether a promotion covers custom builds is brand-specific and not confirmed here.
- Compare like for like on iron sets: the number of clubs in the set changes the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do golf club prices usually drop?
In the clubs covered in this guide, the clearest price drops followed a successor launch. PING cut G440 driver prices to $449 from a $599.99 launch, according to MyGolfSpy. The 2024 Cobra Darkspeed X launched at $549.99 and sells pre-owned from about $253 at 2nd Swing.
Are prior-generation drivers worth buying on Black Friday?
