A Bunker Putt And Angry Fan Clash Spoil Haotong Li's Bay Hill Bonus
A round of 77, a putt out of a bunker and a reported angry altercation with a fan made it a day to forget for late Arnold Palmer Invitational entrant Haotong Li
www.golfmonthly.comHere’s the latest you asked for about Haotong Li’s putter.
Answer in brief
- As of mid-2025, Haotong Li has been commonly using an Odyssey Jailbird 360 prototype/variants in recent setups, with occasional adjustments around the Jailbird family and a switch back to an Odyssey Jailbird 380 in some events; he has also been seen putting with an Odyssey White Hot Stroke Lab model in earlier periods [source patterns indicate multiple iterations within the Odyssey line, with Li favoring Jailbird configurations for performance on Tour as of 2025].[1][4]
Key details and context
- Putter evolution: Li has trended toward Odyssey Jailbird designs in recent years, including mentions of the Jailbird 360 Prototype and related Jailbird iterations, with a history of shifting from the White Hot Stroke Lab to Jailbird options before returning to Jailbird variants in some events.[1]
- Alternate back-ups: At times, Li has used other Odyssey putters and adjusted around the Jailbird family; before the Jailbird focus, he used the White Hot Stroke Lab #7 around earlier seasons, illustrating a period of experimentation within Odyssey’s line.[1]
- Notable recent bag context: After Li’s 2025 Doha win, articles discuss his equipment setup broadly, noting he has largely kept consistent in his bag across years, with the putter position specifically cited as part of an ongoing relationship with Odyssey/Jailbird family rather than a brand-wide change every event.[4]
Illustration (example)
- If you’re curious how Li’s putter choices have varied in recent seasons, a quick snapshot would show a progression from White Hot Stroke Lab configurations toward Jailbird variants, with occasional temporary substitutions (e.g., a Scotty Cameron Tour putter briefly) before returning to Jailbird/Odyssey in key events.[4][1]
Would you like a concise timeline of Li’s bag changes focused specifically on putters, or a comparison table of his known putter models and the events where they were used? I can pull precise event-by-event notes if you’d like. Also, I can fetch the most up-to-date article links or quotes if you want to verify specific claims.
