you are correct, he does have a ping grip, but this week at torre he is using a Nike Method putter. A number of camera shots have shown the blade with the Nike check mark and also his hand on the top of the grip as he kneels down, showing the Ping emblem. Last week Rory used a Nike putter but then switched back to his Scotty before missing the cut. Betcha he is looking for his Titleist clubs too after that cut miss!!

Tiger has been using the Method for a few years now. Since the 2010 British, I believe. Intermittently at first.

Haha, It looks like vicmar saw that this weekend, googled it, found this old post, and corrected the original poster not knowing it was old.

I recently bought my first Cameron. A used Studio Style 2. Its 35" so it has the 330g head. It also has a smooth rubber pingman grip. Not a blackout but the same thing. In fact I think ping made the "blackout" version because of tiger coloring his in. He's making money for a company that he's not even playing for haha this ping putter grip thing is a big fad almost

I just bought a pp58 corded pingman grip after trying it out on a milled anser.  but now im unsure if I wanna change the pingman on it now though. Soft but doesnt make the grip feel lifeless.

Its a great grip.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
