Jordan Spieth switches to TP Mills putter at the WM Phoenix Open

Jordan Spieth made his return to competition following a lengthy post-surgical layoff at last week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Understandably, the Texas was a little rusty — he finished tied for 69th and placed 70th in strokes gained: putting, losing 3.743 to the field average.

So, for as surprising as it is to see Spieth benching his famed Scotty Cameron 009 Tour Prototype flatstick at this week’s WM Phoenix Open, it’s not shocking the three-time major champion would be searching for answers on the green.

We spotted Spieth practicing with an old T.P. Mills putter ahead of the tournament but were unable to confirm whether he’d put the wand in play. However, as was apparent on the first-round telecast, Spieth has made the switch — at least temporarily.

It’s not the first time he’s flirted with other flatsticks (the 2017 AT&T Byron Nelson comes to mind), but seeing a raw TP Mills Trad II putter emerging from his home stash was not on our collective 2025 golf equipment bingo card.

According to our Andrew Tursky, the putter has a slightly lower loft than his longtime gamer (2.5-3 degrees versus 4-ish).

Speaking to the media after his round, Spieth indicated he was exploring a couple of putters trying to “mess a little with how it sits on the ground,” paying attention to the “draft on the bottom of the putter.” Spieth mentioned he was looking for something that suited his eye from an alignment standpoint at address and seemed to indicate he was looking for something that would give him a smooth roll off the face.

Golf Digest’s Jonathan Wall spoke with David Mills, who presently oversees the business his father founded, said Spieth began testing the TP Mills Trad II while rehabbing his wrist and came away impressed by its stability. Spieth confirmed this after his round he had experimented with a number of putters in his basement during his rehab in search of the one that helps him “stroke it best.”

TP Mills was founded in 1963 by Truett P. Mills Sr., and has been manufacturing high-end putters since that time, calling its putters “Playable Works of Art.”

A final note: This may not be the putter in Jordan Spieth’s bag tomorrow as he said that he “may use a few options this week.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

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.
