The decision Scottie Scheffler made that has ended up having a major impact on other PGA Tour players

Scottie Scheffler switched to a TaylorMade mallet putter in 2024, a decision that transformed his career by addressing his long-standing putting weakness. The change fueled a dominant run of nine wins in 2024 and six more in 2025, cementing his status as the best player in golf. However, his success has reportedly led other PGA Tour players to make misguided equipment changes in an attempt to replicate his results.
