Throughout 2026, the putter has proven to be a critical component of winners on the PGA Tour, with one particular brand standing head and shoulders above the rest.<\/p>\n

Featuring in five of the first six wins on the PGA Tour<\/a>, the TaylorMade Spider range was in the hands of Rory McIlroy for his Masters title<\/a>, as he used it for both his historic 2025 and 2026 Green Jacket victories.<\/p>\n

The putter in question was the TaylorMade Spider Tour X, which was first introduced to his bag at the 2024 Tour Championship, where it has remained ever-since.<\/p>\n

In fact, four of the current world’s top 10 use a Spider model of sorts, and a total of 40% of the world’s top 20 possess a Spider Tour putter in their bags.<\/p>\n

Ranked among the best putters<\/a> money can buy, it’s understandable why they’re so popular, and it’s the launch of a new TaylorMade Spider Tour range that is catching the eye at RBC Heritage, this week.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade Spider Tour and Tour X are the main standouts, but it appears other shapes are forming, specifically the Spider Tour V and Spider Tour F, as photographed by GolfWRX.<\/p>\n

As of now, little is know about the new models, but the colorway appears to be similar to that of McIlroy’s, a bronze-type finish that has yielded many excellent results.<\/p>\n

Recently, Tommy Fleetwood was among the notable names to change his flat stick<\/a>, albeit subtly. He had been trialing a TaylorMade Tour F, but the fang-shaped design didn’t last long as he reverted back to his current Spider Tour gamer.<\/p>\n

One slight change was the sightline on the crown. Previously, he used a Spider model with Sharpie marks but, at the Valero Texas Open, it was replaced by a putter with two parallel milled lines and a dot.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the putter at the Valero Texas Open, the Englishman stated: “I haven’t played how I wanted to and sometimes it’s nothing more into it than you just need something different to look at, like a slightly different visual or something just to change up your mindset a little bit.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

“That new Spider, beautiful putter. So I used to try the hundreds of different putters, but I used like the same putter for about eight years.<\/p>\n

“I tried less putters over the last year, but I still enjoying just tinkering because you never know what you’re going to find, even if it just makes you feel better about your putter.<\/p>\n

“I just like hitting different putters. Who knows, it might be something.”<\/p>\n

One thing we do know is that Pierceson Coody seems to have put the new TaylorMade Spider putter in-play, using it for his last few tournaments.<\/p>\n

The sole plate of the new flat sticks also appears to be similar to that of TaylorMade’s zero-torque model, the 5K-ZT, with further information, likely, coming to light over the coming months.<\/p>\n
