New putter for Tiger?


PING Apologist #9

Recommended Posts

I watched last weeks tourney, and am watching Valspar this week too. Has anyone noticed if Tiger has changed putters between the two weeks? I could swear last week he was gaming a Scotty, but this week, it looks like he's putting with a PING. At least the grip this week is a PING pistol grip for sure. I could swear last week the grip and putter head were both Scotty's. I did not get a good look (or any look really) at the head of this weeks putter to confirm. Maybe I'm all wet.  I know he has at least two golden putters in PING's vault from way back in the day. Perhaps he's come home to mamma?

 

Spies, any insight?

He has used the "Pingman" grip all through his career no matter the brand of putter. I can remember when he was a Nike Staffer they blacked out the Ping with a sharpie marker. Thus the blackout Pingman grip was born. Now you can buy either version (due to the popularity) for the same price

It was clearly a Scotty Cameron that came out of the bag when I saw him putt on 4 and 6.

 

Better it was clearly the old Tiger that I saw out of the trap on 4, ball buried under the lip to 5 feet, off the 5th tee, into the 6th green and stinger off the tee on 7.

A couple weeks ago you on the television coverage you could see a wear mark in the center of the sweet spot.  How many perfectly struck puts must it take to do that.

I noticed the putter grip a couple of years ago, as everyone said he just likes the Pigman grip.
