Terrill "Terry" McCabe (February 5, 1946 – April 12, 2013) was an American golf club designer and innovator.

His peers have labeled him a 'master craftsman' and "Quite simply, the best metalwood designer in golf, as proved at TaylorMade, Founders Club and Titleist.

"[1][2] He designed the first commercially successful metal wood, the TaylorMade Burner & Tour Preferred Drivers.

He then applied his interest to fletching feathers on arrows and lastly he turned to designing and building golf clubs.

He attended two years of college before entering the U.S. Air Force where he gained high level security clearance working in cryptography.

He moved his personal master mold maker, Jose Perez, from Coastcast at the time he began working for Titleist.

McCabe was a strong supporter of repealing the 17th Amendment, which would return the senate vote back to the state legislature.

In 1979, McCabe involved with John Zebillian and Bob McCullean in developing what today is known as a "metal wood".

While the origin of the metal woods date back to the late 1800s, the product they developed was made using the investment cast process.

The same technology is used today to produce "metal woods" McCabe's friend and business associate, Gary Adams, founded TaylorMade in 1979 after leaving PGA Golf.
