Bettinardi 2024 Tiki QB6 Limited Run Putter

Bettinardi Golf welcomes the new year and the Hawaii PGA Tour swing with a limited-edition putter.The 2024 Queen B 6 Tiki features tropical aesthetics and a unique hosel.Limited run of 500 putters.Available Jan. 9 with a MSRP of $900.

Welcome to 2024! In the golf world, the start of the new year means the PGA Tour is in Hawaii and golf companies are rolling out Hawaiian-themed gear. Nothing like a bit of thematic marketing to let us know the weather in Hawaii is nicer than our weather right now.

That may sound snarky but “snark” is the opposite of what I think. Seeing the sunshine in Hawaii gives me hope that it won’t always be cold here. Spring is on the way!

For a number of years, Bettinardi has celebrated the Hawaiian swing with the release of a “Tiki” themed putter. These putters feature island-inspired aesthetics and an iconic plant or animal centerpiece design. In the past, Bettinardi has added turtles, orcas, sharks and even a pineapple (right side up) to their Tiki releases.

This time around, Bettinardi’s Tiki limited-run putter features the majestic manta ray.

What makes the Tiki QB6 non-stock?

Before we explore the Tiki aesthetics, let’s take a look at the putter side of the story. As you know, a limited-edition putter should give us something we can’t find in the store. It should stand out structurally as well as visually.
