The manufacturing headquarters for the company are located in Albany, Georgia.
After the WWII, growth is so rapid, MacGregor upgrades twice to bigger facilities. The creation of the Tourney series of clubs (with four choices of shaft flexes), Eye-O-Matric woods, the Pro Peel steel shaft and ceramic-face irons keep MacGregor at the top of the golf world.
MacGregor storms onto the golf course of America, dominating both pro and amateur markets. At least half of PGA Tour players use MacGregor clubs, and MacGregor becomes of the first golf companies to sponsor the African-American professionals
In a true coup of sponsorship, MacGregor nabs Jack Nicklaus in 1961, just as the greatest golfer of all time turns pro. By 1965 MacGregor has introduced the Nicklaus VIP line of clubs so that everyone, everyone can play like a pro.
