Known primarily for his big hitting out on course, Bryson DeChambeau has quietly become one of the best putters out on Tour. He uses a very unique style and also a very unique putter model. Let's take a look at exactly what putter he uses and how he uses it on the greens...
Bryson currently uses a SIK Pro C-Series Armlock putter. It's a rare model to be seen on the PGA Tour and it allows Bryson to putt in his very particular way. Let's start with armlock, a technique that isn't brand-new on Tour and has been used by the likes of Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley and Webb Simpson. By resting a longer putter shaft against the leading arm, the leading wrist is locked in place and allows Bryson to control his putting arc much more easily. Bryson committed to using this method in 2017 and has improved every year in the PGA Tour putting statistics since.
Onto the technology of the head itself and SIK has developed one of the most unique putter faces currently in the modern game. The putter face uses SIK's the patented Descending Loft Technology where sections of the face decrease in loft from top to bottom in order to get consistent launch if your angle of attack changes. This means that striking it out of different parts of the face won't affect the launch of the ball as it travels along the green.
Performance wise, there is a lot to like about SIK - specifically how well the ball hugs the ground after you strike it and how consistent the distance of where putts finish is, especially from long range.

Ahead of the event, he tested out a number of LA Golf putters (which he confirmed are essentially identical to his previous SIK Golf putters) in a variety of different hosel lengths. He ended up switching into the putter pictured above on Thursday.
Tiger Woods uses a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS Prototype putter. Although he has occasionally toyed with other models – even using a mallet at one point – Tiger's famous old Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter has been in the bag for the majority of his career.
McIlroy also is debuting a Spider Tour X putter this week. TaylorMade released the latest edition of its popular Spider line last fall, and McIlroy first saw the club at the BMW Championship. He did in-depth testing with the club after his final tournament of 2023, the DP World Tour Championship.
Ahead of this weekend's tournament in Jeddah, Mickelson switched out his trusty Odyssey blade putter for a brand new L.A.B.Golf DF3 model. L.A.B. Golf is a new player in the golf equipment game, but it's growing quickly at the professional level because of its Lie Angle Balance technology.
Oh, by the way: The wrist-lock method is legal under the rules, as is our WristLock Grip. You may be wondering why getting the wrists involved is bad for your putting stroke.
Penalty Anchoring the club in making a stroke brings a two-stroke penalty in stroke play and loss of hole in match play (as with any other breach of Rule 14-1). WHAT CHANGES?

Scheffler went away from his six-time-winning blade putter at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, where he debuted a TaylorMade Spider Tour X “SS Proto” mallet putter. The SS Proto had all the makings of a Spider putter, including the dual-winged mallet shape, and True Path white sightline on the crown.
