Adam Scott has been rotating between different putters over the years, with a notable recent move back to a broomstick/long-putter setup at times and other periods using a conventional short blade. The latest widely reported development in 2025 involved Scott returning to a long putter (broom-handle style) at Wentworth during BMW PGA Championship week, aiming to stabilize his greens and improve putting. Earlier, he had experimented with shorter putters and even long-putter setups around 2016–2018 as part of equipment strategy shifts, but the 2025 Wentworth change stands out as the most recent high-profile update.[1][2][4][6]
What this means for you
- If you’re tracking Adam Scott’s equipment for fantasy, betting, or gear analysis, expect periodic changes around majors or big events, often driven by feel on dramatic greens or specific courses.[1]
- For fans curious about his longest-running gamer, his trusted long-putter setup has been a recurring theme in his career, resurfacing when he’s aiming for consistency on fast or difficult greens.[4][6]
Illustration (example)
- Trend: Scott switches between long-putter and conventional-length putters depending on course demands and form, similar to other top players who adjust setups to optimize feel and face control on the greens. This can be visualized as a partial tug between stability (long putter) and maneuverability (short putter) across tournaments.
