Ben Griffin was in the midst of his best season as a pro, but that didn’t stop him from messing around with the bag.
In a surprise twist this week, Griffin put on his long-reliable Scotty Cameron Newport 2 for a TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black at the Tech World Championship. It was an interesting move considering Griffin was 16th in Strokes Gained: Putting on Tour this season.
Clearly the change didn’t hold him back as he shot a final round 63 at El Cardonal in Diamante. to win the World Championship of Technology with two shots.
It’s Griffin’s third PGA Tour title this season, joining him with two other popular Spider Tour X users, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, as three-time winners in 2025. The Spider was the winningest player on the PGA Tour this seasonwith Griffin’s latest win bringing his total to 14.
Ben Griffin made an under-the-radar transition this week to a @TaylorMadeGolf Spider Tour X Black Putter.
Wins in his first start with him. No Shot Link this week, but he ranked second in shot put for GIR at 1.59.

Griffin has apparently had the Spider in his possession since the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and must have wanted to make a change after a poor showing on the green two weeks ago at the DP Tour India World Championship. According to DataGolf, Griffin missed shots on the green in India for the first time since the John Deere Classic in July.
There was no Shot Link data this week in Mexico, but Griffin was second in the field with a 1.59 shots per GIR.
The win also marks the third win for Griffin’s unplanned UST Mamiya LINQ Proto driveshaft. Griffin is one of the few PGA Tour pros with a shaft deal after signing with UST earlier this year.
Griffin is also a user of the Maxfli Tour X golf ballwinning all three of his wins this year with the golf ball, the brand’s first in 22 years. Griffin is Maxfli’s only PGA Tour endorser.
It is also another worldwide victory for Mizuno’s Pro S-3 Cuff. Between Griffin and Marco Penge on the DP World Tour, the irons have won six times this season across both tournaments.

TaylorMade Milled Grind 5 Wedge Custom
INCREDIBLE FEEL Incredible feel is a must for a great wedge game. The MG5 is forged from mild carbon steel and engineered with geometry to deliver great feel with great feedback. MAXIMUM SPIN The MG5 uses all-new, more aggressive grooves designed to maximize spin. Saw milled channels produce tighter tolerances allowing engineers to design steeper walls and sharper radii intended to maximize spin in both dry and wet conditions. ALL-CONDITION PERFORMANCE Raw face with Spin Tread technology channels moisture to help maintain spin. In the same way that tire tread helps your drive stay connected to the road, laser-etched channels redirect water into the impact and create more friction between the club face and the golf ball to maintain spin in wet conditions. Craftsmanship MEETS CONSISTENCY Handcrafted and then ground to perfection. Each wedge and sole grind is precision ground to eliminate the natural human error that comes with hand polishing. Our builds offer unmatched durability and craftsmanship that players can count on every time. CARCOAL FINISH The MG5 debuts a sleek and sophisticated charcoal finish that reduces glare and enhances its aesthetic appeal on the bag.
