Now on Tour: NEW Scotty Cameron Phantom Mallets

CARLSBAD, Calif. (Jan. 12, 2026) — New Scotty Cameron Phantom mallets have arrived on the PGA TOUR, with next generation Phantom 5, 7 and 9R head designs and a range of neck and shaft configurations available to players at the season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii.

The new models build upon the success and feedback of Phantom players on the PGA TOUR, including 2025 winners Russell Henley (Phantom X 5), Justin Thomas (Phantom 5), Cameron Young (Phantom 9.5R), Michael Brennan (Phantom 7.2), Ryan Gerard (Phantom 5.2) and the 2013 U.S. Open champion (Phantom 5). 

One reason players gravitate towards the Phantom family is the stability and MOI provided by a larger mallet profile. The increased footprint also creates space for different alignment offerings, from direct features like sightlines to the more subtle angles and contours of the putter head shape and design. 

“There’s an element of forgiveness to it that just I think in my head makes sense,” said long-time Phantom loyalist Cameron Young. “I’ve just grown to like the way that [Phantom mallets] look. I look at a blade now and I have more trouble lining it up.”

Young has played a Phantom putter for the entirety of his PGA TOUR career, gaming various head shapes and neck configurations since 2021. Last year, he made an early season move at the 2025 RBC Heritage from a plumbing neck to a jet neck within the 9R head shape, seeking more toe flow in his putting stroke.

“He’s always wanted to feel flow in the putter,” said Scotty Cameron Tour Rep Brad Cloke. “We’ve started in face-balanced mallets for him and we’ve kind of worked our way down to a point where he’s felt comfortable enough to feel the toe flow the way he wants it and get the release of the putter that he wants.”

The switch paid off. Young delivered the best putting season of his career, finishing the year 7th in Strokes Gained: Putting (+0.642 per round), T6 in Putting Average (1.704) and 4th in One-Putt Percentage (44.57%).
