They say you make about 50% of your shots on the course with your putter. Performing on the green is an essential area of the game; you can drive it 300 yards down the middle every time but if you can’t putt, you’ll be having a hard time making par.

Playing good golf comes down to two factors: the player’s ability, and the equipment they’re using. While it’s essential to practice to get your game in shape, the latter undoubtedly compliments the former.

TaylorMade is one of the leading golf putter brands, and their clubs are known to benefit all manner of golfers, from those just starting out through to veteran professionals of the game. So, let’s take a look at some quality tour players and the kind of TaylorMade putters they’re putting in the bag to help them perform at the highest level.

 

Which Tour players use TaylorMade golf putters?

The best in the world are going to be quite selective over choosing the gear they head out to play with. That’s why it’s a bit of a good sign about a club if it’s been in a player’s bag for a while and they’re getting on well with it.

 

Dustin Johnson

Dustin Johnon has won two major championships, the US Open in 2016 and the Masters in 2020. He’s also had nine top-5 finishes at majors throughout his career. You don’t get to be this prolific in the big tournaments without a solid flatstick in the bag.

Johnson is currently playing with the TaylorMade Spider GT, a club that features lots of perimeter weighting to give the player optimal forgiveness on the greens. The Spider GT has a modern wing design that includes two side wings on either side of the clubhead to promote a more consistent ball roll.

The club performs superbly and looks fantastic too. The top plate is very light to compliment the perimeter weighting and offers the player a premium look when standing over the ball at address. The club’s face is made of horizontal aluminium bars that provide excellent ball contact.

 

Rory McIlroy

A certified fan-favourite and current world no.2, Rory McIlroy has been considered one of the best golfers of his generation. He’s won three major trophies and came perilously close to picking up a fourth at the US Open this year, finishing in second one behind Wyndham Clark.

While he’s undoubtedly naturally skilled and hardworking, the tech in his favourite Spider X golf putter has undoubtedly contributed to his success. A staple in the Spider range, the X has been optically engineered to give you excellent accuracy.

The club features TaylorMade’s True Path alignment system, this really helps you see the line to the hole when you’re standing over your ball. The head feels stable and weighty, the center of gravity is deep in the middle of the head to keep your strokes feeling consistent.

 

TaylorMade's latest golf putters

If you’re itching to follow your golfing heroes and play with the same kind of golf putters they do, TaylorMade has a whole range of golf putters that cater to different abilities and budgets.

The Spider GTx is one of the latest entries in TaylorMade’s Spider range. The club has a sleek high-MOI shape, meaning the head is very resistant to twisting on impact so you’ll be making very accurate strikes. The club’s frame is visually very pleasant, and the putter features a stainless steel backbar for additional stability.

Unlike the Spider range, the TP Reserve clubs feature bladed putters as well as mallets. The clubs feature machined-in grooves on the surface area of the face that deliver a softer feel when making contact with the ball, as well as a crisp, pleasing sound. The TP Reserve putters truly combine fascinating aesthetics with fantastic feel.

The best in the world train day-in-day-out to get to their prestigious positions, but they still use the same equipment like the rest of us.
