If there’s one wedge that set the standard for the modern look and performance of today’s models, it’s Cleveland’s 588.
Now, with founder Roger Cleveland returning to the company last year, Cleveland is giving today’s generation of golfers the chance to experience the legendary wedge design with the release of the Limited Edition 588 Tour Action Wedge set.
“From the very beginning, the 588 was built around feedback from the best players in the world,” Cleveland said in a release. “For this release, we stayed true to the original shaping and turf interaction that made it special, while integrating modern materials and technologies inside the club. It’s the same trusted look and performance, refined for today’s game.”
Released in May of 1988 (hence the 588 name), Cleveland’s 588 wedge instantly became the standard for shaping, turf interaction and performance for the modern wedge. The wedge went on to notch hundreds of professional victories and dozens of major championships.
Earlier this year, the Cleveland/Srixon Tour team began seeding Cleveland RTZ prototypes to pros with the distinctive 588 Wide sole design and offset profile, the first wedges Cleveland helped influence since his return to the company in early 2025.
“The 588 has always meant something special to me because of how golfers embraced it,” Cleveland said. “Seeing players build real trust in that wedge, leaning on it in the moments that matter most was unforgettable. And now a new generation will have a chance to experience that too.”
The new edition of the 588 retains the original’s shaping and distinctive chrome finish, with the Cleveland brand mark stamped on the sole. But the modern touches include the use of Cleveland’s new Z-Alloy material, which debuted in the RTZ line, along with ZipCore, HydraZip, UltiZip grooves and Rotex Face Milling to boost the original design.
The wedges are part of the three-piece, boxed set, which includes a 52˚, 56˚ and 60˚ wedge. Each wedge is ground and finished to Cleveland’s specification and presented in a premium collector’s box, and includes a brushed brass plaque. Only 588 sets will be available.
