The Oral History of Scottie Scheffler's Spider Tour X That Has Delivered 10 Worldwide Wins
Scottie Scheffler has won 10 times worldwide since March of 2024. There’s historical and statistical significance to that number in just about every way you want to slice it. If we are looking through the lens of Scottie’s equipment, the story starts and ends with his Spider Tour X L-Neck putter.
This is the story of how Scheffler’s switch to Spider Tour X led to one of the most dominant runs in PGA TOUR history.
THE TEXT MESSAGE THAT STARTED IT ALL
“We’re all set here in Dallas. See you Tuesday at Bay Hill!”
That’s how Scottie Scheffler responded to TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager Adrian Rietveld’s inquiry as to how recent putter testing was going ahead of the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational. After months of testing various putter options, TaylorMade’s putter team sent a final matrix of five Spider Tour X putters to Scheffler at his home in Dallas.
The answer Rietveld received from Scottie was both a cliff hanger and promising at the same time. Scottie had found a putter he liked after testing at home…but the question was, which putter was it?
LET'S REWIND...
If we were to rewind from that pivotal moment on the putting green at Bay Hill, you would have to go all the way back to the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. It was there that Scottie, predominantly a blade putter user for most of his career, first put his hands on a Spider Tour X putter.
The whole idea in the beginning was that he was so adamant about using a blade putter for so long that we need to think outside the box if we were going to give him a putter with the benefits of a Spider putter. That’s where the prototype came in.Adrian Rietveld, Senior Tour Manager
This prototype version of the Spider Tour X featured a milled face, forward center of gravity and various custom components. Scottie put it through extensive testing at TPC Southwind and played the putter in the next two FedEx Cup playoff events. He then went back to a blade, while behind the scenes the TaylorMade putter team was working on various putter shapes and sizes for Scheffler to continue to test in the coming months.
Amongst the testing, Scheffler was built putters with various alignment aids on top including a sight line and dot on blade putters and various complexions of True Path on top of Spider putters.
After the Ryder Cup we identified that something that could help him know he was striking the ball on the center of the face would be beneficial for him. Instead of the sight dot he had on his blade, we started to re-introduce True Path and we were on to something in terms of his eyes and what he thought he was doing vs. what he was actually doing when hitting his putts. There’s so much that you can see and you can’t see which has aided him in hitting better putts whether it’s a good putt or a bad putt.Adrian Rietveld
Prior to the story defining text message we started this article with, in the weeks leading up to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Scheffler asked Adrian Rietveld for four different versions of the Spider Tour X prototype putter he played in Memphis. Shortly after that request, he asked for a “bells and whistles” version of the Spider Tour X…which gave the TaylorMade putter team freedom to put their spin on the fifth and final putter of the testing matrix.
That “bells and whistles” Spider Tour X hasn’t been modified other than standard loft/lie checks since it was placed in a box, taped up and shipped from our Carlsbad HQ.

THE STATS BEHIND THE WINS
Scottie's historic seven PGA TOUR wins, a Gold Medal and win at Tiger's Hero World Challenge in 2024 came with various pieces of history:
- Lowest scoring average in PGA TOUR history (68.0).
- First player to win THE PLAYERS, a major championship and the FedEx Cup in the same season.
- First player in history to lead the TOUR in Greens in Regulation (73%) and Putting Average (1.68).
- Second player in history win the Masters Tournament and the FedEx Cup in the same season (first since 2015).
- Four signature event victories (Arnold Palmer Invitational, RBC Heritage, The Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship).
2025: TWO MORE MAJORS
- In less than one month in 2025, Scottie won three times in four weeks including winning the PGA Championship by five shots and defending his title at The Memorial.
- He followed that up with a four shot win at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush and an epic win at the BMW Championship. To cap it all off, he won the Procore Championship in Napa to cap his Player of the Year winning campaign.
- In 2025, Scottie led the PGA TOUR in:
- Wins (5)
- Majors (2)
- Most top-10s (16)
- Scoring average (68.140)
- Birdie average (4.61, 350 in 76 rounds)
- Scrambling (68.59%)
- Bounce back percentage (36.5%)
- Specifically looking at bounce back percentage, the rate a player makes birdie or better immediately following a bogey or worse, Scottie joined Tiger Woods at having one of the two single best seasons in that category over the last 40 years (36.5%).
- The craziest part is that those are only the stats that he led that are connected to putting. He led in a total of 28 different advanced statistical categories including strokes gained: approach (1.237), strokes gained: off the tee (0.724) and strokes gained: tee-to-green (2.287).
2026: HISTORIC DOMINANCE
- After his wins at The American Express and the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scottie became the third fastest player to 21 wins in PGA TOUR history (168 starts). He also is only the third player in the last 40 seasons to have five straight multi-win seasons.
- His eight-stroke margin of victory at the Fed Ex St. Jude Championship made him the fifth player in the last 40 years to record multiple wins of 8+ strokes.
- In his win in Memphis, Scottie delivered the best putting week of his career gaining +8.92 strokes on the greens. In total, Scottie made 23 birdie putts with 19 of them coming from 5+ feet, 12 from 10+ feet and 7 from 15+ feet.
- With his second round 61 at TPC Southwind, Scottie posted his 11th round of 9-under or better which is the most on the PGA TOUR since 2020. In that round, he made 11 birdies making him the only player this season with multiple rounds of 11+ birdies-or-better (Travelers Championship, Round 2).
- It was also his 21st round with 9+ birdies-or-better on the PGA TOUR since 2020 which is the most of anyone in that span.
- Scottie leads the PGA TOUR in the last five seasons in final round scoring average, birdie or better average and bogey or worse average.
