GolfWRX is live from the 2013 Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament at PGA West’s TPC Stadium and Nicklaus Tournament courses in La Quinta, Calif. This year’s Q-school means something different than it has in years past. Players who advance through the final stage no longer earn their PGA Tour card. Now, graduating from Q-School means only a spot on the Web.com Tour, with varying categories of exemptions (full/part time/conditional) based on where a player finishes.

To earn access on the PGA Tour, players either need to win three events in the same season on the Web.com Tour, or earn their card by finishing in the top 25 after the Web.com Tour Finals at the end of the year. Otherwise, PGA Tour hopefuls must battle their way onto the big tour by tallying enough points, or earning enough money in PGA Tour events through sponsors exemptions or in the majors.

This year’s final stage consists of the usual flurry of seasoned professionals and inexperienced rookies coming out of college. For some, the final stage of the Web.com Q-School actually coincide with their respective college’s final exam week, adding stress onto an already stressful week.

Some notable players to look out for include Max Homa (2013 NCAA individual champion), Michael Kim (2013 NCAA Player of the Year), Justin Thomas (NCAA POY in 2012, has made cut in 4 out of 6 PGA Tour starts), Daniel Berger (First Team All-American, NCAA Championship runner-up) and Anthony Paolucci (2nd stage medalist, finished 29th in 2011 Farmer Insurance Open while in high school).

WOW! No Ping players, and no Speedblades?
Love the Cleveland 588 TC irons. I hope they release them in February.
Anybody hear anything?

  Actually there were a number of players with Pings in their bags. Just need to look closely. No Ping “Tour” staff bags, though.

    Hey Greg,
    
    I remember you from Patuxent Greens GC in Laurel,MD. Course has really grown in this year. Have you been able to break 80 since you left. I know you were struggling with just making contact back then

        Yep! You nailed it. Kind of a dump but still has a little character.

      Might be a different “Greg” cuz in the short time I was there, never played the course even once.
      
      Too busy dealing with all the nightmare of problems the clubhouse had. With my off time I was out on Tour taking photos for GolfWRX, not playing.

Spotted: Putter roundup from the 2024 3M Open

Brian Knudson

Every week we spot some really cool and custom putters out on the putting green and in tour players’ bags. This week is no slouch with some really interesting and beautiful putters being tested. Let’s take a look at some of the standouts we found.

Tyler Duncan: Scotty Cameron Phantom T-11.5

The Phantom 11 is a pretty wild putter by Scotty’s standards with a multi-material design that boosts MOI for more forgiveness. Duncan’s T-11.5. takes the stock model and moves the shaft to the center of the putter head. We don’t mean a center shafted version, but the shaft is installed in the center, behind the face as well. We don’t have any official details on this T-11.5 but it looks like that setup should create a putter where the face points towards the hole or target, similar to a L.A.B. putter.

Zac Blair: Scotty Cameron 009.M Cameron & Co. “Longneck”

Blair might be in possession of the largest Scotty collection on tour! It seems like every week he has something new, and flat-out gorgeous, that he is trying out. I have seen a lot of 009.M putters over the years, but never one with a long plumbers neck on it. This 009 is a Masterful that utilizes additional CNC machine work to reduce the amount of hand polishing needed to complete the putter. The long, or tall, neck on the putter usually is used to reduce the amount of toe hang and make the putter more face balanced. The face contains a very shallow milling while the sole features a tour truck, tour only, diamonds, and the rare Circle L stamp. The Circle L was made for Scotty’s close friends who lost matches or games and was meant to poke a little fun at their misfortune.

Paul Barjon: PXG Prototype

There are a lot of putters out there that become so widely used and popular that other manufacturers will borrow some of the design cues. The Spider is one of those putters and it looks like PXG has made a prototype putter for Barjon that has some similar features. This proto has a tapered mallet shape with twin wings that come out from either side of the rear. Twin movable weights sit in each wing on the sole and the sole features a plate that is bolted in place at the corners. The top contains a single siteline and the face uses PXG’s advanced pyramid face structure.

Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Broomstick #7

More and more long, counterbalanced, and alternative putters seem to be showing up recently. The long, or broomstick, putter is making a comeback and more than a few players have joined Adam Scott in using that style. Odyssey has thrown its hat in the broomstick arena with a new Ai-One Cruiser model. The head shape is the very familiar #7 model, but with the shaft going into the center of the club head. An Ai-One face is there to help keep ball speed consistent on off-center hits and three white lines are on top for framing ball and aligning the putter.

TaylorMade Spider Tour S Broomstick

Another option in the long putter is TaylorMade’s Spider Tour S broomstick that we saw around the putting green. The head looks to be a little larger than the standard Tour S and that makes sense with the broomstick-style putters demanding heads near or over 400g. A TPU Pure Roll insert is installed in the face and the shaft is a more traditional double-bend design, just much longer! There isn’t the True Path alignment on top, just a full darker grey finish with a single siteline. Two moveable weights are out in the wings of the putter to dial in the specific weight a player might want.
