Tiger Woods WITB: 2020 PGA Championship (putter switch)
Update: 8/5
Thanks to Ben Everill at PGATour.com for passing along this from Steve Stricker in his press conference today, which would seem to confirm Woods is indeed benching his vaunted Newport 2. Further, Stricker suggest that adjustability and the longer length of the Timeless are motivating factors for the change.
STEVE STRICKER: Yeah, I asked him about the putter switch. It’s basically the same putter with a little bit more flexibility in the putter. He’s able to change the weights around a little bit, but the length is the difference. He’s got a little more length on there, and that’s just so he can practice a little bit more without back pain. That’s what excites him the most is that he was able to put in a lot of time with this putter, and watching him putt, it looked exactly the same to me. He rolled the ball great.”
Additional updates on Woods’ putter for the week in the “putter” section.

I made a pretty good putter. Then some grifter copied it.

The original cameron putter has nothing to worry about this time.
.
Cameron probably paid him to tote along the prototype to generate hype in their special select line, which looks great imo. Finally, no face inserts! Now if one could only order them with custom alignment aids, instead of only the line on the flange…
