Putter Fitting: Worth It or Not? + PGA Tour Leaves Hawaii & Golf’s 3-Point Line Debate

Roy gets fitted for a new putter… but does a putter fitting actually make you better?

In this episode of Off TRAQ, we break down our real experiences with putter fittings — what actually matters, what most golfers get wrong, and why a “perfect fit” doesn’t always translate to better results on the course.

From high-tech tools like TrackMan and SAM PuttLab to simple setup adjustments, we explore the balance between data and feel — and how much each should influence your decision.

We also get into:
• What happens during a real putter fitting
• Why length, lie, and roll are critical (and often overlooked)
• The biggest misconceptions about putter fittings
• When you should (and shouldn’t) get fitted
• What to do if your fitted putter doesn’t actually work

Then we shift to this week in golf:
• The PGA Tour pulling out of Hawaii — and what it means for the future
• LPGA majors and whether they’ve gotten the format right
• The Zurich Classic team format — and if the PGA Tour needs more events like it

And finally, we ask a bigger question:

What if golf had a 3-point line?

Would adding risk/reward elements make the game more exciting — or take away what makes golf great?
