Scottie Scheffler’s Dominance at Arnold Palmer | Mallet Putter Transformation

Scottie Scheffler’s Dominance at Arnold Palmer | Mallet Putter Transformation

In the world of golf, where every stroke counts and the greens can be as unpredictable as the weather, there’s a name that’s been hitting across the fairways with style and precision: Scottie Scheffler.

Lately, this guy’s been on fire, tearing up courses with the kind of consistency that makes you think he’s got golf balls with homing devices. He’s number one in almost every category except for one… putting.

His putting has been the Achilles’ heel in an otherwise armour-clad game. And in a sport where “drive for show, putt for dough” is the mantra, this was a problem.

We say ‘was’ because Scheffler recently made a change in his putting game that may have shifted the golfing outlook for many PGA players hoping to win from ‘hopeful’ to ‘unlikely.’

Today on “Good Bogey Golf,” we’ll be diving into the details of this change, where it all started, and what this means for the rest of the field on the PGA tour. And if you stick around until the end, we’ll also cover the highlights from his most recent win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Make sure to hit that like button and subscribe!

That and get this he’s leading the pack and scoring average at a cool 69.5 his Stellar performance is largely thanks to his unusual but powerful golf swing it’s the type of swing that makes people think twice before trying to emulate it even John ROM once stated you can’t teach that it’s unteachable and

Right if you try to copy sheer swing you might just end up in the chiropractor’s office and break an ankle at the same time yet somehow to sheffler the swing is natural and has landed him the number one overall ranking thanks to its consistency but then you hand him a

Putter and it’s like we’re looking at a completely different player it’s a heads scratcher really with the putter in hand he’s down at a 128th in stroke game putting losing about 47 Strokes there his putts per round sitting at 28.87 which puts him at 52 and don’t get me

Started on his three putt avoidance he’s at 4.07% ranking 134th now when we’re talking about making those crucial putts inside 10 ft he’s only hitting about 83.9% of them which Believe It or Not places him at 157th and from 4et out he’s making 80% Landing him at 143rd so you see it’s

Like night and day on the one hand hand you’ve got this golfing star who can play like Tiger Woods from te to green and on the other there’s a struggle with the putter that puts him well below the average so what does he do he decides to take some uncanny advice from Rory

Macroy while joining the CBS Sports telecast post round maroy was asked by Amanda rener about any advice he’d have for sheffler maroy no stranger to putting challenges himself shared his journey I’ve certainly been through my fair share of putting woes over the years and I finally feel like I’ve

Broken through and become a pretty consistent putter for me going to a mallet was a big change he then talked about his long-standing commitment to the blade Putter and how switching to a mallet offered more forgiveness and a greater margin for error he finished by half jokingly adding I’d love to see

Scotty try a mallet but selfishly for me Scotty does everything else so well that he’s given the rest of us a chance macrooy offthe cuff suggestion delivered during a casual broadcast Chat unknowingly Set the St AG for a significant shift in sheffer’s game it was a moment that highlighted the mutual

Respect among top golfers and one that would lead to a notable transformation in sheffer’s approach to the greens initially no one expected sheffler to pull out a mallet putter anytime soon but sheffler wasted no time at the Arnold Palmer Invitational Sheffer debuted a new tailor made spider tour

Putter the results were nothing short of remarkable in the first round he shot a 70 which wasn’t quite what he was aiming for but then man did he catch fire over the weekend the guy started Sunday by onep putting the first two greens capping off this insane streak of nine

Straight one putts and get this he was nailing every putt within 15 ft then came the final day he breathed through one of the only bogey free rounds of the day at Bay Hill which by the way he was playing tough as Nails the hardest course on the tour so far this season

Sheffer was the only top five player to break 70 that day and he topped the best round by Two Shots even when his ball got stuck in the bunker on the tricky Par 3 17th Sheffer didn’t sweat it he just stepped up and blasted the ball to

Within 3 ft like it was nothing but the real showstopper that was on the 15th green he stins this massive 35-footer for birdie opening up a five shot lead talk about a mic drop moment and it’s not his first rodeo at arie’s Place either he bagged the win there back in

20122 right before he snagged his Masters title could we see another year where he wins a masters with that putter in hand chances are pretty high but what does Sheffer himself have to say about all this well when asked about Rory mro’s advice to switch to a mallet poter

Sheffer had a bit of a chuckle it was funny timing he said his coach Randy had already joked about making the switch and then Rory chimed in during the broadcast at the Genesis Invitational Sheffer took it and stride acknowledging that what works for one player might not

Necessarily work for another yet he was willing to give it a shot since he had tried it in the past what really stood out this time was his willingness to stick with the game plan to get better his first time using the Mallet putter on Thursday didn’t go as planned yet he

Cabinet we’re talking about sheffler potentially rewriting the leaderboard week in and week out now I’m not one to jump on bandwagon too quickly but let’s consider the facts at Bay Hill Sheffer was sinking putts like a man possessed ranking fifth in Strokes game putting that’s not just good that’s Elite level

Putting and for a guy who’s already got the rest of his game dialed in that’s a scary thought for the rest of the PGA field but we have to be cautious putting as any golfer will tell you can be fickle one week you’re rolling them in from everywhere and the next you can’t

Buy a pip the real test for Sheffer will be consistency can he maintain this level of putting under different conditions on different courses week after week that is the million-dollar question if Sheffer has truly turned a corner with his putting we’re looking at a new Titan in the game a guy who can

Drive approach and now putt with the best of them that’s a recipe for a lot of wins maybe even a few Majors the next few tournaments will be crucial in showing whether this Improvement is a new baseline or just a happy Blitz on the radar all right that’s a wrap on our
