Newport 2

The Newport 2 arrives in 1995 as a variation on Scotty Cameron's original blade, with mrtopesgolf.com describing it as a classic blade-style putter with a slightly larger head than its predecessor. By 1996 it had picked up a slant neck, a change golfheritage.org points to as new for the model, and the same source notes soft carbon steel construction, with collector interest strong enough that golfheritage.org puts an all-original mint example at approaching $1,000 or more, against $300 to $500 for a used one. The 1997 Newport 2 sharpened the look further, with scottycameron.com describing a heel/toe weighted head with a more sharp, mechanical look and a blockier shape carrying a sightline for easy alignment. That same year brought the Teryllium Newport 2, longer than the standard Newport 2 per scottycameron.com, with a 12-metal alloy Teryllium inlay and, in the maker's words, a distinctly soft feel and solid feedback. The Community has been enthusiastic here: one commenter simply calls it popular on tour, tournament winning, and Tiger Woods carried a Newport Teryllium model to his first major at the 1997 Masters, according to 2ndswing.com.

The line kept building on that tour reputation into the early 2000s. The Oil Can Classics and Teryllium Two arrived in 1998 and 1999, the latter drawing note from drivingrangeheroes.com for Tiger wanting more squared lines similar to a Ping Anser 2, a fresh tri-sole Newport 2 that reportedly went into his bag at the 1999 Byron Nelson. The Pro Platinum followed in 2001 with a deeper face and, per scottycameron.com, availability that had previously been limited to touring pros' prototypes; scottycameron.com also lists tournament history including the 2001 Masters and the 1999 PGA Championship. When the Studio Stainless Newport 2 landed in 2003, it was pitched as the more affordable entry to the line, with a soft beaded mist finish and 303 stainless construction, though the Community split on it: praised for being more affordable and lighter in the head, but called unimpressive by others. golfreview.com's figure of 330 grams for head weight sits alongside that mixed reception, and putterzone.com notes Tiger Woods used a Studio Stainless Newport 2 for eleven years of uninterrupted tour play.

The mid to late 2000s pushed the line toward more deliberate variation rather than straight iteration. The 2005 Studio Style introduced a Studio Stainless Steel head with a German Stainless Steel insert and a widened head, and thegolfshoponline.co.uk called it the definitive expression of the world's most iconic blade putter shape, while also flagging a premium price of £449 as a considered purchase; the Community's own notes echo both sides, praising the studio carbon steel insert for unrivalled feel while warning that the blade's lower MOI punishes off-centre strikes more than a mallet would. The 2007 Detour took the line somewhere stranger, an arched aluminum face and frame built, per scottycameron.com, to promote the arc-shaped putting path, with prlog.org describing it as a miniature version of the Detour's sight curve bolted onto two of Scotty's Newport putters. The 2008 Studio Select, by contrast, returned to a completely milled design and, per 2ndswing.com, ran across 13 models from 2008 to 2011, longer than a typical Cameron run according to the Community, even as reviewers split between still used by pros on tour and dead, unresponsive, underwhelming; best-putter.com specifically called the feel soft but dead. The Studio Select 2.7 arrived in 2009 with a flow neck and half shaft offset, described by golfshake.com as replacing the Newport 1.5.

The 2012 Select Newport 2 marked a formal modernization, scottycameron.com calling it significant, yet subtle, modifications to a shape it describes as sleek and low-slung with mechanical lines, and the maker now treats the Super Select line as its current equivalent. pluggedingolf.com called it an Anser 2 style putter with deep face milling and one of the softest milled putters they'd tried, impact soft with almost no click, while the Community's own flagship-status praise sits comfortably alongside that. The Cameron Crown Newport 2 followed in 2016 in 303 stainless steel, and the Teryllium T22 arrived in 2019 in a tactical matte black finish with metallic gold and white paintfill, which golfmagic.com frames as a modernised version of the TeI3 models first introduced in 1997, closing a loop back to the line's earliest tour identity. Later Special Select and Super Select releases, including the Newport 2.5 and Notchback variants, keep the same 303 stainless steel head material and full shaft offset the maker has returned to across decades, with justsaygolf.com crediting the Super Select's dual-milled face technology and the Community continuing to weigh consistency on mishits against the recurring counterfeit warnings that have followed the model's popularity throughout its run.
