Tiger Woods officially using new Scotty Cameron putter for 2020 PGA Championship

After much speculation, we can now confirm that as of 8:33 AM local time at the 2020 PGA Championship being played at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California, Tiger Woods put into play a new Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Timeless Prototype.

It is an interesting move considering he has used his trusty Scotty Cameron Newport 2–with site dot alignment—for 14 of his 15 major wins (the asterisk 1 of 15 belonging to another Scotty Cameron putter—a Newport Te I3 “Terrylium” for his first Masters win in 1997).

The biggest changes that make this new Scotty Cameron different from his old reliable are

Weights in the sole to allow Tiger to fine-tune the head weight and help him on slower greens.
This is not the first time we have seen Tiger with a putter that has sole weights in tournament play. The first was when he used a TaylorMade Ardmore 3 at the Quicken Loans National July 2018.
He also experimented with a similar putter to the one he is using this week at the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush but never put it into play (see below)

An increased length change of .25″, although small, is a big deal considering he has used the same specs for more than 2 decades. The known specs of the new Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Timeless Prototype are listed below.

Loft: 3.75 degrees
Length: 35.25″ (finished with grip)
Lie: 70 degrees
Head weight: TBD (presumably heavier than his 327-gram gamer)
Grip: Ping PP58 Blackout

Thanks to Ben Everill at PGATour.com for passing along this from Steve Stricker in his press conference Wednesday, which Stricker suggested the adjustability and the longer length of the Timeless are motivating factors for the change.

STEVE STRICKER: Yeah, I asked him about the putter switch. It’s basically the same putter with a little bit more flexibility in the putter. He’s able to change the weights around a little bit, but the length is the difference. He’s got a little more length on there, and that’s just so he can practice a little bit more without back pain. That’s what excites him the most is that he was able to put in a lot of time with this putter, and watching him putt, it looked exactly the same to me. He rolled the ball great.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
