The question of whether the old axiom “Drive for show and putt for dough” is based in fact or fiction remains a great source of debate in golf circles. There is no denying, however, that a good week with a putter can go a long way to winning on the PGA Tour. Knowing then what a new champion used en route to victory is a natural curiosity that we hope to satisfy by putting together this list of putters employed by every winner on the PGA Tour in 2026. At the Sony Open in Hawaii, Chris Gotterup used a TaylorMade putter to get the season started right. Each week we’ll let you know what the winner played along with a fun stat about their putting that helps provide insight into their triumph.
