The 2019-20 PGA Tour is now complete, and as we often see, a hot putter is a big reason that each of these winners have lifted trophies in the 2019-'20 season. Employing a variety of shapes and styles, the putters used by those players are as varied as their strokes. TaylorMade's sweep of the FedEx Cup playoffs allowed them to have the most wins with 11. Scotty Cameron putters posted 10 wins, followed by Ping with seven. SIK and Odyssey each have four wins and Bettinardi with one.
