The last time we saw Collin Morikawa tee it up in competition, he was using a 1-of-1 TaylorMade “CM Proto” prototype black blade-style putter.

Throughout 2022, we’ve also seen Morikawa — who was 131st in strokes gained: putting last season — using a number of different putters, including a TaylorMade Spider GT Rollback mallet, and a TaylorMade TP Juno.

On Tuesday at the 2022 Presidents Cup, however, it appears Morikawa is switching things up again. This time, GolfWRX spotted him using a TaylorMade TP Soto with a short slant neck, a dot as the top line at address (he normally opts for a single white line), and it’s equipped with an LA Golf putter shaft.

Speaking with the press on Wednesday, here’s what Morikawa had to say regarding the putter:

“A lot of it was because of setup adjustments (flatter lie angle at 68 degrees, and shorter build at 33.5 inches). I went to the Soto rather than Juno. I wanted the look. Then I was just messing around and messing around with like three different necks just to see how my hands sat if they were at the same lie angle, and go from there.”

Morikawa then explained why he went with a dot as his alignment aid, rather than a line:

“We just haven’t had time to kind of get the line perfectly how I want it. I think with where my eyes are sitting and how it’s sitting down, I think we might have milled it in a little too deep and just the way the angle sits when it’s sitting down, the way my eyes look at it, it doesn’t look as straight as it should be. That’s something we’ll kind of mess around with probably after this week, but they made a bunch of putters, and it was never a thought. It was more about let’s get this right, looking good and feeling good in my hands.”

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.
