Odyssey Reaches Milestone 25 Years as Golf's Top Putter Manufacturer
The golf world has come a long way since Odyssey, founded by non-golfer Michael Magerman in 1991, disrupted the traditional putter industry with its innovative approach. Initially, the brand's focus on non-metal inserts and urethane faces helped stabilize putter weight to improve feel, forgiveness, roll, and alignment.
Over the years, Odyssey has established itself as a force to be reckoned with, boasting an impressive list of high-profile adopters such as Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, Annika Sรถrenstam, Ernie Els, and Jon Rahm. The brand's acquisition by Callaway in 1997 marked a significant turning point, catapulting it to the forefront of the industry.
Today, Odyssey celebrates an unprecedented 25 consecutive years as the top putter on tour, with its products being used by top pros across the globe. To commemorate this milestone, the company has announced the launch of its S2S Tri-Hot line of putters, available from November 7. This new collection utilizes a unique zero-torque design, featuring aluminum, steel, and tungsten to achieve an optimal center of gravity.
The introduction of AI-powered technology in the new putter design is expected to provide improved ball speed and roll consistency across the face. The dual-layer urethane insert boasts a soft outer layer and firm inner layer, delivering consistent performance and accuracy.
Callaway Golf's Luke Williams attributes the success of Odyssey's putters to its commitment to innovation, stating that the brand has led the industry in the use of AI technology. With top pros such as Xander Schauffele, Yuka Saso, Sam Burns, Rose Zhang, and Jeeno Thitikul relying on Odyssey putters for their victories, the brand is well-positioned for another year at the top.
As golf continues to grow, with over 47 million Americans participating in the sport in 2024, Odyssey's commitment to producing high-quality putters will undoubtedly benefit amateur golfers as well. The company's broad range of shapes, styles, and price points ensures that there is a putter suitable for every golfer, regardless of their level or preferences.
With its enduring success and innovative approach, Odyssey solidifies its position as the top putter manufacturer in professional golf, leaving a lasting mark on the sport.
