Is this a tour issue Ping putter?

[sukisuki007]

I need help identifying if this a tour issue putter.  Got it today at Golf Galaxy. I have never seen any with this site line configuration. Serial number is PGA632. I called Ping and they did not have record of this serial number.  Any help would be great.

2017 Ping PLD mallet (like the one Bubba showcased in '17). Only thing is the PLD marking is oddly in the center by itself. Typically, it is offset and inverted to the side or will say PLD3 in the middle. So, it could be a tour issue custom that ping does not want to admit got released into the wild by mistake or it is an almost perfect copy-knockoff. I doubt it, but it's possible if ping actually does not have a record of the serial number (as they are pretty good about knowing what clubs are theirs with that system, even if its tour issued).

Yes like you said the ones I have saw had the PLD with a 3 on it, and most had a single site line. I was hoping one of you guys would know.

Let me know if you end up selling it. It's giving me the good feels.

Try calling back ping, tell them you want to send in pictures of the club to verify it and they will more than likely give you an email address to send them to. Make sure include every angle of the club (top, bottom, sides, face, serial number).

I sent a request on the website for that email address to send pics to.

According to this thread serials that start with PGAxxxx are tour issue putter. 
Maybe some info to glean there.

Thanks for the thread.  It’s looking more and more like a tour issue club. Awesome.

As someone who occasionally collects tour issue Pings (although generally older ones), I am 99.9% certain that the one you landed is tour issue.  Ping do use PGA as a prefix in their serials 9as the older thread mentions) and it looks like a PLD3 proto.  If your enquiry reaches the right person at Ping they may be able to give you the exact specs.

 

An incredible find in the wild!
