The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe 1999 Newport 2 is the putter most associated with Tiger Woods, who carried a version of this head through the bulk of his career. Per drivingrangeheroes.com, the model refined the original Newport's lines into something more squared, closer in spirit to a Ping Anser 2, and paired that shape with a fresh tri-sole design specific to the Newport 2. The same source credits the putter with an unusual run of tournament relevance, reporting it in Tiger's bag for 14 of 15 Majors and noting its return to the number one spot for the 2019 Masters.
That kind of longevity in one player's bag is rare for any putter head, let alone one now decades removed from its release. The Newport 2 name has carried forward into Scotty Cameron's Select line in various configurations, including Notchback and Dual Balance treatments, but the 1999 gamer sits apart from those as the version tied directly to Tiger's record. The squared, low profile look described by drivingrangeheroes.com is the throughline connecting this original to everything that followed under the Newport 2 name.
