10 mind-blowing images of Tiger Woods’ putter, created with A.I.
Tiger Woods’ custom Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter has been in his bag for 14-of-his-15 major championship victories, and it’s one of the most famous and valuable golf clubs of all time.
Here at GolfWRX.com, we take photos of golf equipment. And, since Woods still uses the putter, we recently took some up-close photos of the putter face.
For more photos of Tiger Woods’ clubs, check out his full 2023 WITB here.
As the photo shows, he has a wear mark directly in the center of the face. In order for a wear mark like that to show on GSS metal, just from impacting a golf ball, it likely takes thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or millions of center strikes.
Yeah, he doesn’t miss the center of the face often.
I wondered, to myself, what this photo might look like when enhanced, manipulated, and re-imagined by Artificial Intelligence. Honestly, I don’t know exactly how A.I. works, but I had a blast running Tiger’s photo through a combination of utilities to see what it came up with. Entertainment value aside, the A.I. photos also helped to highlight the pronounced wear mark.
Let’s get right to it. Here are 10 of my favorite A.I.-edited photos of Tiger’s famous Scotty Cameron putter.
(They get progressively weirder as we go!)
Isolated and enhanced: Look at all the scratches, dents and dings!
Abstract art anyone?
Yeah, that’s a lot of scratches (I think A.I. may have added just a few)
A.I. is starting to recognize the center mark…
Cherry bomb: Scotty Cameron would be proud
The Lost City of Birdies
Tiger Woods x Space Jam
Throwing darts
Is… that Arnold Palmer?
A.I. started getting a little bit out of hand at the end, but it’s still pretty cool nonetheless. Somehow A.I. even seemed to know that Arnold Palmer was a pilot who reportedly flew over 18,000 hours.
Wild stuff.

The obsession that grown men have over everything about this man is hilarious, but mostly it’s just pretty sad.

Throwing Darts is more of a watch theme, looks like the inside of a mechanical watch.
