    Save for later

    The question of whether the old axiom "Drive for show and putt for dough" is based in fact or fiction remains a great source of debate in golf circles. There is no denying, however, that a good week with a putter can go a long way to winning on the PGA Tour. Knowing then what a new champion used en route to victory is a natural curiosity that we hope to satisfy by putting together this list of putters employed by every winner on the PGA Tour in 2026. At the Cognizant Classic, Nico Echavarria used an Odyssey putter to give the company its first win this season. TaylorMade has five victories in seven starts, with Scotty Cameron by Titleist claiming the other title. Each week we'll let you know what the winner played along with a fun stat about their putting that helps provide insight into their triumph.

    The square-ish designs feature extreme heel and toe weighting for maximum forgiveness as well as two neck styles and different centers of gravity to better accommodate arcing and straight strokes. The thin-wall casting method allows saved weight from the crown and sidewalls to be redistributed for more stability on off-center hits. A thermoplastic rubber positioned behind the face, previously used in TaylorMade’s irons, minimizes vibration for a cleaner, crisper sound. The lightweight Surlyn face insert features grooves that angle downward to improves initial launch and roll to control unwanted backspin and initial skidding. Among the most popular mallet designs ever, Spider putters have been the preferred putter by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy and scored 14 wins overall on the PGA Tour in 2024. The Tour S model comes in a heavier head for over-length setups, and a Black Series is now offered with a black PVD finish in the Tour, Tour X and Tour S models. Top 5 in Performance, all handicaps Models: Tour, Tour X, Tour S, Tour Z, Tour V. Head weights: 345-380 grams. Lengths: 33, 34, 35, 38 inches. Loft: 3 degrees
