PGA Tour news: Big changes are happening on the PGA Tour, and we’re mostly ignoring those for this article’s sake. While wandering the Albany golf course, I observed some compelling changes in the golf world that are worth sharing.
1. Will Zalatoris has switched to a broomstick putter. After undergoing a challenging year of physical and mental recovery, Zalatoris has transitioned to using a split-grip L.A.B. putter. His decision was influenced by the improved comfort and visualization, and he aims to enhance his putting performance with this alteration. Additionally, Scottie Scheffler has adopted a new putter from Olson, showcasing an evolution in his game.
2. Collin Morikawa has changed his coach. After parting ways with his coach of nearly two decades, Rick Sessinghaus, Morikawa began working with Mark Blackburn. This partnership has resulted in noticeable improvements in Morikawa’s swing, body movement, and overall health, signifying a significant change in his approach to the game. Furthermore, Morikawa is focusing on sitting better to ensure his long-term physical well-being.
3. Tiger Woods has replaced his caddie temporarily. With Joe LaCava now fully committed to Patrick Cantlay, Woods has brought in Rob McNamara as his caddie for this event. However, the question arises of who will caddie for Woods in the long term, especially as he considers participating in multiple events next season. His son, Charlie, has been ruled out, leaving the decision for Woods’ future caddie still pending.
