Tiger Woods spotted testing TaylorMade Juno and Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putters today (updated with photos)
Tiger Woods is going through some tough times on the greens lately… not just holing putts, but deciding between putters.
He played in the 2018 PGA Championship with a TaylorMade Ardmore 3 mallet putter, then he played last week with a TaylorMade Juno blade putter. Now, he’s back to testing out the Juno against the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 that he’s had in the bag for 13-of-his-14 career majors.
Woods was spotted today at the 2018 BMW Championship practice round at Aronimink in Pennsylvania testing out both putters side by side. So he’s at least considering going back to his old flame.

Despite climbing into the top-10 in last week’s Dell Technologies Championship, Tiger struggled down the stretch, playing the last 5 holes in 3-over-par to finish T24. That cost him a lot of FedExCup points. He’s currently in the 25th spot on the FedExCup points list, so he’ll need a strong finish at this week’s BMW Championship in order to qualify for the year-end Tour Championship.
Tiger is currently ranked 50th in Strokes Gained: Putting on the year, according to PGA Tour’s website.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

A change in putter can help if he was not controlling the ball well or missing it a certain way. However, it look to me he was just not reading the putts right and was hitting good putts.

Will anyone ask Tiger what he thinks of his clothing sponsor supporting the disrespecting of the US flag with their new ad supporting Kaepernick, the “new face of Nike”? Tiger’s dad was a proud military veteran.

Kaepernick was protesting police brutality…
JD
Sep 4, 2018 at 3:05 pm
Lets go through some logic here to break this down:
Kaepernick kneels to protest police brutality, therefore Kaepernick hates the national anthem, therefore Kapernick hates the military. Nike supports Kaepernicks protest of police brutality, therefore Nike hates the military, therefore Tom is wondering if Tiger hates Nike.
Lets keep going….
Tom now hates Nike, therefore Tom throws his nike clubs and clothes in the lake, therefore Tom now walks 18 without clubs and completely nude, therefore Tom gets arrested for indecent exposure, therefore Tom is a creep.
DAMN YOU NIKE!!! Now Tom is a creep.

The issue that most people have with him kneeling is the forum he chose. It’s one of the few times people of all backgrounds can come together and be united and he chose to divide people even more. I’m sure others don’t feel the same way, and that’s fine.

Actually, George, you just insulted a lot of people who choose to watch Fox. You just made it personal and not about golf. Shame on you.

Those protests have nothing to do with ‘the flag’ or the military. Get out of here with that bs.
Jordan Robert Anderson

Since the protest is to kneel before the flag during the playing of the anthem, you will have a difficult time convincing me that the protest has “nothing to do with the flag or the anthem”.
