The irons as played by the world's top 20 golfers

Most of the world's top 20 are tied up in equipment deals meaning they can't just pick and choose which irons they use. Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed and Tommy Fleetwood are the only three players inside the top 20 who are free agents, leaving them to play with whichever irons they want.

So let's take a look at which irons the current best 20 players on the planet are using right now, starting with 20th in the rankings Shane Lowry and working our way down to world No.1 Rory McIlroy.
