Tiger switched the Method last year at the British because he thought it would work better on the slower greens.
And because he was putting terribly and was looking for a miracle piece.

Did you check out the first post? They are not part of the staff that receives a weekly check. My gut is that there is a winners pool like with just about any manufacturer, but no pay for play outside of that.
And he's been the poster child for great putting on the PGA Tour ever since, haha

So were they paid or not?
He still made the switch to the Method because of the course conditions. I didn't say it was a smart decision.
Not in this case, as non Odyssey staffers that means they're just using these putters for the simple reason we all use a particular putter- because they sink more putts with it.So were they paid or not?
He's won with the Scotty on slow greens before. So I think that it was just an excuse IMO.
Not arguing.
I am not overly familiar with the Odyssey line. What is the major difference between the White Hot XG Insert and the White Ice insert? Is it firmness? I also read that the sound is different between the two.
In terms of the phrase "winners pool", is it just winners who get paid? Or top 5? Top 10?
Good question bg, I am interested in the response to this one too.
Its a pool of dollars that go to players using the equipment depending on how they finish.
There are very few that do not have this in some form. SeeMore comes to mind as not having anything like this. They are one of the few that come to mind though.

Just hard for me to believe with all the money that is being thrown around that the number 3 player in the world is playing a putter just because he likes it.

Well, I dont know what to tell you, they are not part of the Odyssey staff. Hence the reason Odyssey cannot use their likeness. Its a different thing than say a Martin Kaymer being part of the Ping putter staff or Steve Stricker being a part of the Odyssey staff. They can use their likeness and are paid a certain amount each week that the putter stays in the bag regardless of finish.
I don't really think he is asking you to believe it. I see it more as he is telling you the facts... He has been honest that there is likely a winners pool, but if they aren't getting paid to have it in the bag then they aren't getting paid.
