Scottie Scheffler to use Olson Golf Putter and TaylorMade unreleased 2024 driver at 2023 Hero World Challenge

Scottie Scheffler is trying new equipment at the 2023 Hero World Challenge to improve his putting game and driving. Tiger Woods is also making equipment changes.

Scottie Scheffler is gearing up for the 2023 Hero World Challenge as he prepares for the upcoming PGA Tour season. As he steps onto the course, he's not just focused on his game, but also on the new equipment he's testing out. With some new clubs in his bag, Scheffler is looking to make some changes to his golf game.

One of the key changes Scheffler is making is with his putter. He's swapping out his usual Scotty Cameron putter for the new Olson Golf putter. This new putter, created by Logan Olson, offers a similar feel to the Scotty Cameron putter, making it an easier transition for Scheffler.

The decision to switch putters may be driven by Scheffler's desire to improve his putting game. With a ranking of 162nd in putting strokes gained on the PGA Tour, it's clear that he's looking for ways to elevate this aspect of his game.

In addition to the Olson Golf putter, Scheffler is also experimenting with the unreleased TaylorMade Qi10 LS driver. This driver, which has been used by Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, is still shrouded in mystery as it has yet to be officially released. However, it's already making waves among Tour pros, including Tiger Woods, who will also be using the driver along with a new Graphite Design Tour AD-VF shaft.

But Scheffler isn't the only one making changes to his equipment. Will Zalatoris is adopting the L.A.B. Mezz.1 Max putter, completely altering his putting style, while Justin Rose is also testing out the Qi10 LS driver along with the Titleist TSR3.

It seems that the 2023 Hero World Challenge is not just a warm-up for the new PGA Tour season, but also a testing ground for new equipment. With several pros making changes to their gear, it's clear that this is the perfect time to experiment and find the best fit for their game. As they tee off at the Hero World Challenge, all eyes will be on how these new equipment choices will impact their performance on the course.
