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

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.

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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

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.

Arnie did over 19,000 hours. Not 18,000 miles.
