Brooks Koepka’s Equipment Shakeup: Transitioning to TaylorMade Spider Putter
Brooks Koepka recently made a striking return to the PGA Tour at the Farmers Insurance Open, showcasing two Scotty Cameron putters in his bag. The 35-year-old golfer has long favored Scotty Cameron’s blades, particularly his Newport 2, which has played a pivotal role in securing his five major championship victories.
A Significant Change in Style
However, in a notable shift, Brooks Koepka is set to switch to a TaylorMade Spider mallet at the upcoming WM Phoenix Open. This revelation was first reported by Golf Channel analyst Eamon Lynch, marking a new chapter in Koepka’s putting game.

The Significance of the Shift
This transition is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time that Koepka has chosen a mallet that is not a Scotty Cameron model. Although he has previously experimented with mallet putters, including the Scotty Cameron T-5.5 and Fastback 1.5 in 2025, this move comes on the heels of a disappointing performance at Torrey Pines, where he finished last in the field for putting. During that round alone, he lost almost 5½ strokes on the greens.

Brooks Koepka’s equipment swap to the TaylorMade Spider mallet could be a game-changer as he aims to regain his putting form. Golf fans will be watching closely to see how this new relationship with the mallet affects his performance at the WM Phoenix Open. As Koepka embarks on this fresh chapter in his equipment journey, it remains to be seen if it will lead to a return to form on the greens.
