Scott and Jason Day are both former champions in the field this week, both victorious at TPC Four Seasons in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

While Day flirted with a drought-breaking win at last week’s Wells Fargo Championship, Scott has looked to make an equipment change as he chases a first win since the Genesis Invitational in February 2020.

Scott made headlines earlier in the year when he put the L.A.B. Golf Golf Mezz.1 Proto putter in the bag ahead of the WM Phoenix Open and which he used at The Masters (pictured), taking to Instagram to showcase the range of L.A.B Golf putters he was trialling during a practice round with Matthew Wolff and Charles Howell III.

Scott’s experiments come a week after Day also made a change to his flatstick of choice, reverting back to the TaylorMade Spider Limited Red that made him the No.1 player in the game and a major champion in 2015.

There is a distinctive Presidents Cup feel to the pairing of the three leading Aussies in the field this week, Scott paired with fellow Australian Marc Leishman and Chielan Joaquin Niemann while Day will play alongside Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama and Canadian Mackenzie Hughes.

Scott, Leishman and Cameron Smith are currently the only Australians in the top 12 of the International standings, Day moving up from 27th to 24th after his tie for 15th at Wells Fargo with Lucas Herbert (18th) and Matt Jones (20th) also in the mix.

Minjee Lee headlines the five-strong Australian contingent at the LPGA Tour’s Cognizant Founders Cup, there are six Aussies contesting the Champions Tour’s Regions Tradition and Brad Kennedy and Jake Higginbottom are teeing it up in the Japan/Asian Tour co-sanctioned Asia Pacific Open Golf Championship Diamond Cup in Japan.
