Rory McIlroy puts his Scotty Cameron putter back in the bag

I believe Tiger had a Titleist putter for a while with Nike. I bet if he was winning, he'd still be all Nike.
Same could be said for the rest of us. Cant blame him and I hope he finds his forma again soon.

He's done it before. Not shocked. He needs something to turn a couple things around. Maybe familiarity will bring some consistency to his game on the greens.

I remember reading a report about the supposed monetary value of the contract and in it, it said he will switch to Nike everything, except maybe the putter.

He's switched back to his Cameron because the ball is still coming off the face too hot for his liking. Nike's working on a putter for him that has the ball come off a little more like what he's used to.
Was just on the XM earlier today.

Sounds familiar doesnt it? Seems another top player had the same issue with the Method.

No. I was absolutely talking about you. Has Tiger Woods ever won the Morgan Cup? Nope. But ddec has.

My thoughts as well. At the end of last season Rory was an absolute artist with a wedge in his hands it was so awesome to watch. This year he just seems to have let that part of his game slip the most.

Is it the wedge he's not used to? Or the ball?
I've thought about this and TBH I don't really have a clue. I'd have to think it's his game more than his equipment though. Playing a 20XI-x or a Pro V1-x isn't the difference between being being the best wedge player on Tour and being remarkably average is it?
Mark crossfeild tested them side by side.

I think it's all of the above. Different ball, and then trying to fix a swing that was a bit off at the beginning of the year. He's currently 148th in scrambling, but 24th in putting at 1.741 per hole. I think he'll be fine as the year goes on.
I agree. He started strong last year had a low on the middle and ended strong. A bit streaky.
As for the deal in the press announcement with him and Nike they talked about him going back to the Scotty of he had a problem putting and they said it wasn't an option. I don't know of he has talked Nike into letting him use it while they perfect his putter or if he is just doing it, but I do believe it is against his contract from what was said in the press release.

Dunno, all between Nike and him and his agent.

Let's real 'er back in.
not surprised at all. Once you go Cameron you never go back..eron.
at least for some people..

I remember when his deal first came out with Nike. I asked if it was all Nike, head to toe. Several people said Nike is always head to toe.
Did they simply make an exception for him? Does he forfeit some of his endorsement money? Would Nike make this kind of exception for anyone else? (aside from Tiger)

I don't think it's a big deal. Nike will figure out a putter for him in the mean time just go win with 13 clubs with the swoosh.

haha, and for the others...
Once you go Cameron over and over and over again, and then sell them all, you never go back.. *facepalm*
