Update: 8/31/18

It’s been confirmed that Tiger is using a TaylorMade Juno putter during competition at the 2018 Dell Technologies. Read our original story below.

—

Tiger Woods finished 79th in strokes gained: putting at last week’s Northern Trust as his struggles with the flatstick returned. Woods benched his beloved Scotty Cameron Newport 2 in favor of a TaylorMade TP Collection Ardmore 3 at the Quicken Loans National, but it looks like he’s considering another switch.

Golfweek’s David Dusek spotted him practicing with a TaylorMade TP Collection Black Copper Juno putter, today, ahead of the 2018 Dell Technologies Championship at TPC Boston.

The Juno model looks close to the retail edition, save for the alignment dot (the retail model has a line) on the topline and “TIGER” stamped on one of the bumpers.

According to Dusek, Woods used the Juno during his Thursday pro-am.

As evidenced in a photo from Golf Channel’s Tiger Tracker, the putter appears to have a red insert on the face, as well.

In an up-and-down year on the greens, Woods is currently 53rd on Tour in strokes gained: putting.

    Hmmmmm, seems Mr. Woods is becoming like the rest of us, looking for a Putter that works. Really funny in a way. Oh well, it appears that he has become just another good player looking for something that works.

      Know what you mean. When my game starting going away as I got older I started changing Putters, had to be that, right? Now I have about 35 and still don’t make em like I did when younger and a +hcp. Wonder why, could be the eyes, trying too hard? or maybe not just the Putter but the game is not the same. Oh well, we all go through it at a certain point.

      My thoughts exactly. Makes me wonder if he’s contractually obligated to us a TM putter.

    Oh no.

    Tiger is using a copy of club he lucked into on his way up in 1997… A copy of a copy that didn’t work 4 months ago.

    And horrific looking plastic shoes?

    I am a HUGE TW fan but the Apocalypse is upon us! Change you ways, Butterfly kisses, Time in bottle, Cats in the cradle, 50 ways to leave your lover.

    “I don’t switch putters very often.” -Jack Nicklaus

    Given what Sean Toulon said in his TG2 interview-

    “If you’re not careful, everything you make is going to look like a bad/ugly version of a PING Anser.”

    Wonder if TW ever tried a Toulon…

    matches up with his eyes.
