Collin Morikawa will be desperate to end his winless run at the RBC Heritage this week.

The PGA Tour‘s stop at Harbour Town Links is the fifth signature event of the season.

And the 28-year-old heads into the tournament on Hilton Head Island having finished in a tie for 14th at The Masters.

Collin Morikawa hasn’t tasted victory on the PGA Tour since he won the Zozo Championship in October 2023.

After an underwhelming week at Augusta National, Collin Morikawa admitted that he needed to work on his putting.

And the American has seemingly made a big change ahead of the RBC Heritage.

Collin Morikawa has a new club in his bag for RBC Heritage

Morikawa took to the links on Wednesday to try out a new club.

The two-time major champion has put a mallet putter in the bag for the RBC Heritage this week.

In 2024, Morikawa changed from the TaylorMade TP Soto blade to a TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet before the Masters.

However, he switched back to his old putter not long after that.

And now Collin has made the change yet again, seemingly trying to emulate the route to success that Scottie Scheffler took in March 2024.

The 28-year-old has a mallet putter back in his bag as he looks to secure his first win in 18 months on the PGA Tour.

The score Collin Morikawa shot in his practice round at RBC Heritage

Morikawa played nine holes around Harbour Town Golf Links on Wednesday.

And he posted a respectable score of two-under par on the front nine.

From the above video, Morikawa’s all-round game certainly doesn’t look in tip-top condition.

He’s usually a very good driver of the ball and a supreme iron player, but it will be interesting to see how his new putter holds up this week.

This season, he’s ranked 33rd in putts per round with 28.29, and 59th in strokes gained putting, with +0.182 (PGA Tour website).

Whilst those numbers aren’t horrendous, there is definitely room for improvement, especially if he is to get back into the winner’s circle.

It remains to be seen whether Collin Morikawa’s decision to switch putters at the RBC Heritage was an inspired one.
