Scottie Scheffler Switches to Mallet Putter Ahead of Arnold Palmer Invitational

World No. 1 golfer aims to overcome putting challenges with new equipment change.

Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1 golfer, has introduced a new mallet putter to his bag at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, seeking to address his recent putting struggles.
Despite dominating from tee-to-green, Scheffler has faced criticism for his putting, which has been a significant factor in his lack of tournament wins since The Players Championship nearly a year ago.
Scheffler's switch to a TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet putter comes after a period of reflection and a desire to improve his game, especially in light of upcoming major tournaments.
The golfer's decision to change putters is seen as a strategic move to gain an edge in the competitive field, with the Arnold Palmer Invitational marking the start of a crucial stretch in the golf calendar.
Experts and fellow golfers have weighed in on the change, noting the potential benefits of a mallet putter for players struggling with speed control and alignment issues.
