Newport 2

The Newport 2 arrived in 1997 as Scotty Cameron's follow-up to the original Newport, and the record's core specs are simple and unchanged: a heel/toe weighted head with a more sharp, mechanical look, a blockier shape, and a sightline for easy alignment, per scottycameron.com. The maker's page also lists 1/4 toe hang for this release.

Where the Newport reads as the rounder, more classical blade, the Newport 2 is the one that leans mechanical and boxy. Later product pages describe the broader Newport 2 shape as a boxy, green-hugging profile that has quietly become the most renowned of all putter shapes, and elsewhere as an angular, modern blade with distinct, mechanical lines. Those descriptions come from newer Select-era Newport 2 variants (Notchback, Notchback Dual Balance, and the 2.5) rather than from the 1997 release itself, but they trace the same design lineage back to this head.

On the tour and tournament question, the record holds only opinion, and it's unanimous in direction if not in specificity: the Newport 2 is described as having been used to win tournaments around the globe and as very popular on tour, a line that comes straight from scottycameron.com's own account of the model. That's a maker's claim about its own putter's track record, not a third-party or house finding, and the entry treats it accordingly.
