Going into the weekend of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a number of big names are in contention, with one of those being Rickie Fowler.
Sitting 14-under, the American finds himself one shot back of leaders Akshay Bhatia and Ryo Hisatsune at the halfway stage, with it being Fowler’s best 36-hole position in a PGA Tour event since the 2023 Rocket Classic.

The change in question involves the flatstick, with Fowler swapping his L.A.B Golf DF3 putter for a center-shafted Scotty Cameron Golo, which was first introduced to his set-up all the way back in 2012.

Finishing T18th at both The American Express and WM Phoenix Open, Fowler is T3rd going into the weekend at Pebble Beach, with the former Ryder Cupper possessing improved putting stats from 2025.

Fowler isn’t the only player to recently change the flatstick as, ahead of the first Signature Event of 2026, both Min Woo Lee and Keegan Bradley have also opted for a change in putter.
For Lee, he has switched out of his Odyssey Square 2 Square Jailbird for a new Odyssey prototype putter. Little is known about the prototype, but it appears to feature four moveable weights on the sole, as well as a slant neck hosel.
Known for his incredible distance off the tee, Lee is ranked 10th in SG: Putting through two rounds in California,…
