The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Santa Fe traces back to 1992, before Scotty's affiliation with Titleist, built as a Newport head with a sightline and a slightly offset neck over soft heel and toe milling. 2ndswing.com's listing attributes the design to the earlier Classic 1.5 model, and notes a one-piece milling construction from soft carbon steel. 2ndswing.com also describes it as popular among professionals and amateurs since its birth. By the time the maker's own archive pages pick up the story in 1996, they describe the Santa Fe as having launched that year and having been used on Tour as the Classic 1.5, a lineage the maker repeats consistently across its 1996 through 1999 archive entries.
The Classics era of 1996 through 1999 is where the line settles into a steady identity. The maker's pages for the 1996, 1997, and 1999 Oil Can Classics releases all carry the same loft of 4°, lie of 71°, and length of 35", and the same description of a Newport head with a sightline, slightly offset neck, and more toe flow, paired with heel-toe balancing. risingsunclubs.com.au corroborates the 35 inch length on the 1996 Classics Santa Fe and frames the model as ideal for golfers who want a traditional blade look with the benefit of alignment aids and slight offset. Within that same window the line also branched into Teryllium: the 1997 Teryllium Santa Fe carries the same loft, lie, and length as its Classics siblings, but the maker's archive page for it adds that the face is inlayed with Teryllium, a 12-metal alloy, for a distinct soft feel and solid feedback, with an elastomer membrane injected to dampen vibration. drivingrangeheroes.com's writer says they game a Santa Fe version of this putter themselves, describing a copy with a circle drilled into the face below the hosel and the head repainted black with the Teryllium insert filled in red and white.
The Teryllium Two Santa Fe of 1999 carries forward the same 4° loft, 71° lie, and 35" length as the rest of the Classics run, but a YouTube source calls it the most sought after Teryllium 2 TI3 of its era and cites a first run of only 500 made. Around the same period an Oil Can edition circulated as well; golfreview.com's reviewer, writing about the Santa Fe Oil Can, says they'd had the putter five years and wouldn't trade it for any other, and separately describes the shaft running almost all the way to the head in Santa Fe style off a cut down shaft.
The record then jumps to 2024 with the B3 Triple Black Design Santa Fe, built in 303 stainless steel with a Pistolini Plus grip, offered in 33", 34", and 35" lengths with custom fitting available across a lie window of -2º to +2º and a loft window of -1º to +1º. A 2026 Santa Fe follows under the Studio Style edition, described by the maker as a Newport-style blade design finished in translucent red cherry dots with an engraved 7 Point Crown, a Full Contact Slim grip, a UV-Resistant Headcover, and a Studio Carbon Steel face insert according to thegolfguys.com, which also credits the insert with greater damping capacity than metal inserts like Teryllium, stainless steel, and aluminum, and with preserving ball speed off the face for distance control.
