Tiger Woods' Putter Question

Recommended Posts

What model of Ping did Tiger Woods use before he used Cameron. I thought I heard it was the Ping Anser 2, but I could be wrong.

 

Yes, Anser 2 (not Anser). Tiger still uses the Pingman grip on his Cammy.

Driver:  TaylorMade 300 Mini 11.5° (10.2°), Fujikura Ventus Blue 5S Velocore

3W:  TaylorMade M4 15°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7S

Hybrid:  TaylorMade Sim2 2 Iron Hybrid 17°, Mitsubishi Tensai AV Raw Blue 80 stiff

Irons:  Mizuno Pro 223 4-PW, Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 stiff

GW / SW: Mizuno T-22, 52° (bent to 50°)/ 56° (bent to 54°), True Temper S400

LW:  Scratch Golf 1018 forged 58° DS, Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 stiff

Putter:  Byron Morgan Epic Day custom, Salty MidPlus cork grip

Grips:  BestGrips Augusta Microperf leather slip on

[quote name='stanford' post='885066' date='Jan 27 2008, 10:45 AM']i know tiger used an answer 2 before his cammy but was it a scottsdale or phonex model ping and if it was one of those models what year was it. like 1970 for example. and scottsdale and phenox mean what factory they were made in. if somebody has this information i would be very happy thanks.[/quote]


Since the Anser 2 Did not come out until the Early 1980's. 1983 I Believe. And of course all then were Phoenix.

A Plain Jane Anser 2 In Stainless. Nothing fancy

As noted above. The Ping Anser 2 came out in the early 1980's.

I believe 1983.

And they still make it today. So it could be 1983 model to whenever Tiger used one.

Again, a Plain Jane Anser 2 In Stainless Steel.

There was a Del Mar mixed in there somewhere and also the Scottydale was before the Tei3.

The Stainless Anser 2 came out in 1981. As far as I can remenber, Tiger used the Anser 2 in The Open at Birkdale when O'Meara won. Tiger also used a normal SC Newport during part of his Amateur career. I believe his change of putters would be something like:

Scotty Cameron Newport (1996 Amateur)
Scotty Cameron Scottydale (1996 Pro)
Scotty Cameron Newport II Teryllium (1997 Masters)
Ping Anser II Stainless (1998)
Scotty Cameron Newport II GSS

I thought that the show was the Mike Douglas show and not the Bob Hope show?

So looks like Tiger won all his majors with quite a few different putters, right?

I know that he won his first Masters with the Terryllium.

Is there a list of which Major he won with which putter?

1997 Masters was a Newport Tei3.
Not a 2.

You are right on the '97 Masters. After that every major won with the trusty Newport 2.

Anser 2, Pat Pend under the top line, stainless steel cast putter. These were worth silly money when Tiger had one in his bag. The DAY he put it away, the value went south so fast it wasn't even funny.
Great putters and probably the same weight as his Cameron gamer. I would bet on a weight of sub-335 grams. Anyone else have a guess?

Old topic , although the Nike method 001 looks good and plays well , tiger should have stayed with his Scotty Cameron Newport 2 , same for Rory ! Does anybody know what major he won with the ping anser 2 ? If he did ?

Wow strong bump...

 

Woods won the 97' Masters with a Cameron TeI3 Newport.

 

His 13 other majors were won with his GSS Newport 2.

Tiger would've won those majors with a tin can tied to a stick as a putter. The method has nothing to do with his drought. The in's do, as in injuries and infidelity's. Now as to why Dustin Johnson hasn't a major we can talk putter. And not because it's a Cameron, cause he can't putt and Tiger could b4 the wheels came off. I truly believe during Tigers run the putter kind didn't matter, he was just a beast

Maybe after Rory's W, Tiger will resurface with the trusty GSS (I'm picturing StarWars music and a Jedi robe as he approaches the first tee at The Farmers next year)
