Woods to Dump Putter After 12 Years, 72 Wins
By wchung | 05 Feb, 2025
After 12 years using the same putter, Tiger Woods appears ready to switch to the swoosh.
Tiger Woods was playing Tuesday at the British Open with a Nike Method putter. Woods says he also brought his regular putter to St. Andrews, but he told The Associated Press during his practice round, “I think I’m going to stick with this one.”
It would be the first time that all 14 clubs in his bag were made by Nike.
His Scotty Cameron putter made by Titleist had been the lone holdout. Woods first used it at the 1999 Byron Nelson Classic, and since that time, he has won 72 times around the world and 13 majors.
Woods is coming off one of his worst putting weeks ever at Aronimink, where he tied for 46th in the AT&T National.
