Bettinardi signs LPGA Tour rising star Patty Tavatanakit
Bettinardi Golf has announced the official signing of former World Number 2 amateur and LPGA Tour rising player Patty Tavatanakit.
Entering her sophomore season on the LPGA Tour, Tavatanakit will play her DASS (Double Aged Stainless Steel) Studio Stock 3 putter, with the 21-year-olds first tournament this week at the Gainbridge Championship in Orlando, Florida.
Patty attended the University of California Los Angeles, where she became a 7-time winner and two-time WGCA First Team All-American. With her success at UCLA, Patty qualified and became the Low Amateur at the 2018 U.S. Women’s Open, where she finished T5. Turning pro shortly after, she earned the Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year award in 2019 on the Symetra Tour.
Putter Specs:
Model: Studio Stock 3
Weight: 360 grams
Material: DASS (Double Aged Stainless Steel)
Face Milling: Micro-honeycomb
Finish: Black PVD
Speaking on joining Team Bettnardi, Tavatanakit said
“I was always a big fan of Bettinardi Golf during my collegiate days, and now I couldn’t be more excited to be part of their official Tour staff. Being able to visit their shop, see the technology, and try all their face millings to find my perfect putter was truly awesome.
The confidence I now have in my putting is the best it has been, and I’m really looking forward to this season and seeing it pay off on the greens.”
Tavatanakit joins a young lineup of LPGA Bettinardi Staffers, including Annie Park, Muni He, and PGA Tour stars, such as Matthew Fitzpatrick, Sam Horsfield Jason Kokrak, and long-time staffers Matt Kuchar and Fred Couples.

I agree, I’d like to see more LPGA articles too. Their bag setups (and course strategies) are more relatable to regular guys like me than PGA tour bags.
