Scotty Cameron Newport LN TeI3 – 1998 Xperimental Prototype Long Neck Copper Insert

The Scotty Cameron Newport LN TeI3 – 1998 Xperimental Prototype is a cornerstone piece in the evolution of modern Tour putter design, created during the era that firmly established Scotty Cameron as the gold standard at the highest level of professional golf.

Milled from 303 stainless steel and finished in a deep, dark experimental prototype finish, this putter features the iconic TeI3 (Teryllium Insert 3)—a copper-based insert revered for its uniquely soft yet responsive feel. The TeI3 insert delivers exceptional feedback and distance control, and remains one of the most celebrated face technologies in putter history.

What truly sets this example apart is the Long Neck (LN) hosel, a rare configuration developed for Tour players seeking a cleaner look at address with increased face balance and reduced toe flow. Long Neck TeI3 prototypes were produced in extremely limited numbers and are among the most desirable configurations for both elite players and serious collectors.

The sole is boldly stamped “XPERIMENTAL PROTOTYPE”, indicating this putter was part of Cameron’s internal testing and refinement process—built to exacting Tour standards rather than retail constraints. The 1998 date stamp places it squarely in the most important developmental period of the TeI3 line.

Additional authentic details include:

• Original Cameron / Titleist sole stamping

• Clean Newport blade profile with squared shoulders

• Long Neck hosel for Tour-preferred balance

• Period-correct shaft and finishing

• Deep milling consistent with prototype-era craftsmanship

This is not a reissue.
This is not a later retail model.
This is an original 1998 Scotty Cameron Experimental Prototype—the type of putter that defined an era and helped shape the modern Tour game.

Equally at home in a display case or in the hands of a purist who appreciates legendary feel.

For Collectors. For Players. For You.
