Scottie Scheffler's win Sunday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson marked the 10th time the world's No. 1 player has won a tournament using a TaylorMade Spider Tour X L-Neck putter.
For years, mallet putters like the Spider Tour X—even mid-sized mallets—were viewed mainly as options for golfers looking for more forgiveness, especially those who missed the center of the face. And while mallets typically offer more stability than traditional blade putters, that's not why Scheffler made the switch.
Two years ago, while the rest of Scheffler's game was rock solid, his putting was in a slump. As I wrote last season, he began experimenting with Spider models because their larger crowns made room for more prominent alignment aids. Why? Occasionally, Scheffler set up with the ball slightly toward the heel, rather than the center of the face.
'This Spider putter is really easy for me to line up,' Scheffler said before the 2024 Players Championship. 'I don't have to use the line on the ball. I line the putter up really well, and I line up in the middle of the face—pretty much as simple as that. Kind of gives me just a really good visual."
The takeaway for recreational players: With today's variety of neck and hosel options, it's time to move past the idea that mallets are just for golfers who struggle with consistency. Modern mallet putters can be a fit for a wide range of putting strokes and preferences.

Scottie Scheffler is on an absolute tear this season, and his latest win at the Memorial Tournament only adds to his dominant run. The 27-year-old World No. 1 clinched his third PGA Tour title of the season with a 10-under-par 278 finish, topping runner-up Ben Griffin by four strokes. His steady play and clutch performances have fans glued to their screens and the numbers prove it. Advertisement CBS drew 3.063 million viewers for Sunday's final round, marking a 7% jump from last year's 2.855 million. That viewership surge is even more impressive compared to 2022's 2.319 million for Billy Horschel's win.

Weekend viewership averaged 2.782 million on CBS, a 14% year-over-year rise, with Saturday's third round pulling in 2.04 million viewers up 15% from 2023.

According to the Daily Mail, he raked in an incredible $9.63 million in that span. And he wasn't the only one cashing in his caddie Ted Scott reportedly earned $963,000, more than many players on the PGA Tour's top 10 money list. Scottie's red-hot streak has not only boosted his bank account but also fueled fan interest in golf. 'Scheffler moves the needle,' one fan said online. With the RBC Canadian Open around the corner, fans are eager to see if the World No. 1 keeps up his momentum. One thing's clear when Scheffler plays, people tune in.

TaylorMade Launches Qi35 Designer Series in Gold and Platinum
After debuting its Qi35 line earlier this year—already in play by the likes of Nelly Korda andCollin Morikawa—TaylorMadeis adding a bold twist. Enter the Designer Series, a trio of limited-run drivers that just might be the brand's most striking yet. The lineup includes a stealthy all-black version (always a safe bet), but the true standouts are the new satin gold and platinum finishes. From address, both offer a sleek, surprisingly classic look—attention-grabbing without veering into overly flashy territory thanks to the muted satin sheen. Flip them over and the soles turn up the contrast, blending metallic and matte elements with black accents. Branding stays in line with the standard Qi35 aesthetic. Each club comes with a premium black headcover, finished with metallic Qi35 branding in gold or platinum. 'The cool thing about Designer Series is that we can only do this in limited quantities, and that allows us to do something outside the norm,' said Robert Nunez, a product designer at TaylorMade. 'Whether it's how paints and pigments are sourced, how they're applied, or drawing inspiration from different places like aeronautics or the automobile industry, it's a continual learning and evolution process.' TheTaylorMadeDesigner Series Qi35 drivers are available now in both standard and Max heads for $650 USD.
