No 2027 putters have been announced. Putters don't follow yearly cycles, so the best 2026 performers carry into 2027.
Srixon announced its second-generation ZXi irons on Oct 16, 2026 ($1,499.99). Mizuno's Pro S-4 irons reached retail in September 2026 ($1,505). Odyssey released its TRTL and TRTL MAX putters on Oct 29, 2026. These are the newest models you can buy, but none has published independent test results yet.
No 2027 putters have been announced. Odyssey's TRTL family from late October 2026 is the newest major release.
