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.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Nice attempt at hijacking the cause Tom. Call your pappy Hannity and go sob to Fox News about your theory!

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.

I switch back and fourth between my Scotty Newport and my Bobby Grace AMG26… I’m beginning to realize its the carpenter and not the hammer.

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

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.

Sounds like little Georgy needs to find his way fo MSNBC and NFL blog sites, not a golf site, if he is trying to find friends and make conversation.

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

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”.
