Bettinardi 2024 Tiki QB6 Limited Run Putter

Bettinardi Golf welcomes the new year and the Hawaii PGA Tour swing with a limited-edition putter.The 2024 Queen B 6 Tiki features tropical aesthetics and a unique hosel.Limited run of 500 putters.Available Jan. 9 with a MSRP of $900.

Welcome to 2024! In the golf world, the start of the new year means the PGA Tour is in Hawaii and golf companies are rolling out Hawaiian-themed gear. Nothing like a bit of thematic marketing to let us know the weather in Hawaii is nicer than our weather right now.

That may sound snarky but “snark” is the opposite of what I think. Seeing the sunshine in Hawaii gives me hope that it won’t always be cold here. Spring is on the way!

For a number of years, Bettinardi has celebrated the Hawaiian swing with the release of a “Tiki” themed putter. These putters feature island-inspired aesthetics and an iconic plant or animal centerpiece design. In the past, Bettinardi has added turtles, orcas, sharks and even a pineapple (right side up) to their Tiki releases.

This time around, Bettinardi’s Tiki limited-run putter features the majestic manta ray.

What makes the Tiki QB6 non-stock?

Before we explore the Tiki aesthetics, let’s take a look at the putter side of the story. As you know, a limited-edition putter should give us something we can’t find in the store. It should stand out structurally as well as visually.

Golf Innovators

Golf has seen numerous innovations over the years, both in terms of equipment and the way the game is played. These innovations have been driven by a mix of golfers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Here are some of the key innovators and innovations in golf:

Equipment Innovators

Just Dropped: PING Pua Collection

What’s better than a PING Hoofer?

A PING Hoofer draped in Hawaiian flora and fauna, of course!

Today, PING released the Pua Collection of bags, gear and accessories. This Aloha-inspired gear is just in time for The Sentry Tournament at Kapalua.

PING Pua Collection: A Closer Look

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_6599c951168e1 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_6599c951168e1 .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_6599c951168e1 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_6599c951168e1 .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_6599c951168e1 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_6599c951168e1' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

In case it wasn’t obvious, Pua means “flower” in Hawaiian. The entire collection, from the award-winning Hoofer golf bag to hats and headcovers galore, is adorned with pretty pink Hibuscus and a costal teal background.

If the Pua Collection from PING doesn’t get you in the Island mood, I’m not sure what will. Kick back, relax, crack open a can of Hawaiian Sun POG Juice (or a fat plate of Chicken Katsu) and hit that add to cart button before this limited drop sells out!

Tommy Fleetwood Signs Contract Extension With TaylorMade

TaylorMade is keeping one of its top players in the stable.  

The company announced that Tommy Fleetwood, the No. 14 player in the world, has inked a multi-year extension to stay with TaylorMade. 

Fleetwood, 32, has been one of the most consistent players in golf since joining TaylorMade three years ago. The Englishman has recorded 15 top-10 finishes in that time. 

“Being a member of Team TaylorMade is something I am proud of so renewing my contract is a natural progression for my continued improvement,” Fleetwood said in a press release. 

Fleetwood employed a full NIKE bag until the company exited the hard-goods business in 2016. He transitioned into a mixed bag as a gear free agent, holding onto some of his NIKE clubs—including a set of his beloved VR Pro irons—for the following two seasons. He continued to add TaylorMade clubs until signing on to be a staff member in December 2020.
