Tiger Woods has put his old putter back in the bag after a week of experimentation.
Two weeks ago at the PGA Championship, Woods played with a new Scotty Cameron putter after his game on the green had been somewhat lacking in his previous performance.
Woods looked great with the new short stick early, sinking a 33-foot birdie putt on his fourth hole of the tournament. But despite the impressive shot at the start of the round, Woods grew frustrated with the putter, and ultimately finished 49th out of 79 players in strokes gained per putt at the major.
Woods initially made the switch due to the added length and weight of the new putter.
Still, given the disappointing results, Woods returned to his original Scotty Cameron putter, which was in his bag for 14 of his 15 major victories.
In his opening round at The Northern Trust, Woods looked comfortable on the greens.
Woods finished his round on Thursday three shots under par, and is set to tee off on Friday at 1:17 p.m. ET.
