Scottie Scheffler put his official stamp on the 2024 FedExCup last week, logging another victory to cap off a dominant 2024 and become a FedExCup Champion for the first time. It seemed that once Scheffler made a putter switch at Bay Hill ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, it was smooth sailing from there, with the world No. 1 winning seven times on the PGA TOUR as well as a gold medal at the Paris Olympics – but more on Scheffler’s dominant set of golf clubs later.

Scheffler’s putter switch was just part of a year that was packed with gear news, from club releases, new prototypes, interesting equipment switches, and a few new emerging trends, too.
