When I took up golf a few decades ago I would never have imagined that what grip you put on your putter was something for which you would have many options.
(Dustin Johnson, Martin Laird, Tom Hige, Henrik Norlander, Jason Day) (Rory McIlroy, Daniel Berger, Aaron Wise, Harry Higgs, Hudson Swafford, Russell Knox) Scotty Cameron Teryllium T22 Fastback 1.5 Scotty Cameron Studio Select Fastback 1.5 Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 GSS Here is a complete breakdown of the putters being used by the top 100 players on the PGA Tour. It is noticeable also that not all the golfers in the top 100 automatically used the latest models of putter produced by the main manufacturers and continue to use older putters on the greens. In addition we counted a significant number, close to 25% based on the data available, using ‘prototype’ putters which have been set up specifically for that individual player. What is clear when it comes to looking in detail at the putters used by the best 100 pros on the PGA Tour is that the majority, 65% in total, favour more forgiving mallet style putters over the more traditional blade types. While you would think the make and model the putters used by some of the best players on the planet is where the putter story would end in the modern game things are never that straight forward.Īnd as we went deeper into our analysis the specialisation of putters grips as well as the putters themselves also became clearly apparent in addition to the frequency with which the top 100 will use custom made prototype putter models made specifically for them. PING and TaylorMade putters are used by 15% and 14% of the top 100 respectively. Odyssey and Scotty Cameron putters are the next most used within this elite group with 30 players each using them. So to see what putters the best pros in the business are currently using we analysed in detail which model each of the top 100 golfers on the PGA Tour is using.Ħ5% of the top 100 PGA Tour golfers use mallet putters with the other 35% choosing blade putters. In today’s game however, as with everything in golf, the models of putter available are almost endless and it can make your head hurt sometimes trying to work out which one will work best for you.īut with close to 40% of any golfer’s shots, irrespective of their standard, being played on the putting green it makes sense that a lot of attention is paid to putters and especially on the PGA Tour.
Choosing a putter used to be a relatively easy task simply because there were not that many options available.
