First Look: Scotty Cameron Champions Choice putters

Scotty Cameron has done it again.

The next generation of Champions Choice Limited Release putters will be hitting the shelves on 28 July and they certainly look the part.

Four new “button back” models are now part of the master club fitter’s range, all of which feature Cameron’s Teryllium copper alloy inlay.

• FootJoy x Harris Tweed Open collab

These are inspired by the putters Scotty Cameron has made for major winners down the years, with four of the last seven men’s major winners using one of his creations.

The Champions Choice graphics, which feature blue, red and white stripes, are a notable feature in these stunning flatsticks.

All four of the putters are ‘plus’ models, which are blades that feature a slightly wider profile. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler is one of several PGA Tour players who have one of these in play.

• The Open: The ultimate fan experience?

“Recognising the demand for our original Champions Choice release in 2021, I had to do it again,” said Scotty Cameron.

“But, of course, it had to be special. With the introduction of our new Super Select Plus models and the popularity of this new blade shape, it was a natural to create some unique Newport and Newport 2-style models for this seasonal release.

• Ping’s new ladies G Le3 range

“I call the Plus width a “tweener” because it’s in between the size of a normal blade and our wider, Squareback 2 mid-mallets. Add the Teryllium in our Button Back design and these new Champions Choice Plus Button Back models celebrate the years of victory with our putters in four new designs built to look as good as they perform.”

Scotty Cameron Champions Choice models explained

Here’s what Scotty Cameron has to say about the latest range.

Champions Choice Newport Plus Button Back: Crafted slightly wider than a standard Newport with an I-beam style plumbing neck and Teryllium insert, its 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate is engineered into the precision milled 303 stainless steel putter head for proper balance, ideal weight distribution and higher MOI.

Champions Choice Newport 1.5 Plus Button Back: Based on the Newport Plus head shape, this model features an I-beam style jet neck for players favouring a naturally arced putting stroke. Its Teryllium inlay is fused to the 303 stainless steel putter head with vibration dampening technology and a three-button-head-screw configuration for outstanding feel and feedback.

• Gear changes from the Open

Champions Choice Newport 2 Plus Button Back: Designed by working with the game’s best players at Scotty’s Putter Studio, the Plus models’ wider profiles were designed for players looking for a slightly bigger blade and even more confident alignment. Coupled with the feel of Teryllium, this tour proven model is a glimpse into the future of putter development.

Champions Choice Newport 2.5 Plus Button Back: Also offered in a left-handed version and based on the Newport 2 Plus head size, this model features an I-beam style jet neck for players creating a naturally arced putting stroke. Lending the Button Back style its name, three button head screws in conjunction with improved vibration dampening technology fuses the Teryllium inlay to the putter head.

All four of the models offer players with either a plumbing neck or a jet neck and in 33″, 34″ and 35″ length options.

Each putter features a solid milled 303 stainless steel body with a soft Teryllium inlay fused together with the iconic button head machine screws and Scotty’s latest vibration dampening technology.

Each putter also comes with a matching premium headcover in the line’s red, white and blue colour scheme and includes a Pistolini Plus grip with blue lettering and white texture.
