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.
