New putters on the shelf
Golf isn’t all about hitting the longest drives and making the biggest noise; you’ve also got to be calm and humble on the greens to score well.

Golf at the Olympics
The Olympics are taking place in Paris this week, and while we love watching golf on tour, you’ve got to admire all the sheer athleticism on display at the Olympic Games.
In the 2020 Olympics held in Tokyo, Americans Xander Schauffele and Nelly Korda both claimed Olympic Gold Medals in the men’s and women’s Golf Individual events, and golf is of course returning to the Olympics for this year too.
The Men’s golf event takes place from the 1st – 4th of August, with the women’s golf taking place on the following weekend from the 7th – 10th August.
Who's playing golf at the Olympics?
There are dozens of world-class golfers you could put forward to represent their countries in the Olympics, but there’s a specific qualifying process in place to allocate athletes.
As you can expect, qualifying to compete in golf at the Olympics is determined by ranking. The golf qualifying at this year’s Games is limited to 60 men’s and 60 women’s players as dictated by the Official World Golf Rankings.
The top 15 male and female players via World Rankings are eligible to compete, with up to a max of four players from a single country. After the top 15, the Olympic golf rankings consist of the top two eligible for each country following the world golf rankings.
As you can expect, there’s going to be some world-class talent competing for their countries. The American line up consists of Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Nelly Korda, and Lilia Vu. Representing Great Britain are Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Charley Hull, and Georgia Hall.
Equipment is the key to performance
Being one of the best players in the world and representing your country must be such a thrill! But no matter your ability, if you’re playing with substandard equipment, you’re not going to be reaching your potential.
Scottie Scheffler will be taking his Spider Tour X golf putter to France because he knows it will help him perform to his high standard. It’s the club that helped him win The Masters, and it’s the club that will help him chase an Olympic medal.
TaylorMade makes exceptional golf clubs, and the ones we currently have in the pro shop are at the very cutting edge of modern putter tech. Without a solid golf putter in the bag, you could be falling short of scoring when it matters on the greens. TaylorMade has engineered the clubs in the Spider Tour range to give you the most out of your short game and have you feeling on top of the world.
TaylorMade Spider Tour putters
The Spider Tour golf putters feel solid, and have a stable, well-weighted structure from grip to head. You’ll get a buttery-smooth sense of feel when you strike the ball thanks to the tech behind the face, and the Pure Roll insert gives your ball a more consistent movement to the hole.
TaylorMade TP Black putters
Another fantastic putter offering from TaylorMade is the TP Black. As you can guess from the title, the clubs in this range come in a striking black finish. Combining sleek aesthetics with exceptional feel, the TP Black putter features flowing lines with natural curvatures milled into the face to offer both a noteworthy appeal and pleasing sensation on impact.
TaylorMade TP Reserve putters
Should you prefer to play with a chrome-headed golf club, the TP Reserve putters have classic steel clubheads. The machined-in grooves on the face provide a softer feel and crisp sound when you strike the ball. You can pick up this putter in a variety of clubhead styles, from a classic blade to larger mid-mallets.
TaylorMade makes exceptional golf putters, and we’re sure to have one in the pro shop just right for your golf game. If you’re thinking of adding a new putter to the bag but don’t know where to start, we’d be happy to offer you our expert advice.
