Scotty Cameron putters hold their value better than almost any golf club, which is exactly why they're the most counterfeited. Most fakes on eBay share the same pattern: listed as brand new, far below the usual price, from an overseas seller with little feedback. Here's how to protect yourself.
The warning signs
- The price. A new current Cameron at half price or less is the biggest red flag. We flag any listing 40% or more under the typical price for the same line.
- The seller. New accounts, very low feedback, or a seller shipping several "new" Camerons from overseas.
- Stock photos only. Ask for photos of the actual putter: the face, the sole, the back cavity, the neck and the grip.
- "Circle T" or "tour only" putters at normal prices. Genuine tour-issue Camerons sell for far more than retail ones, so a cheap one is almost certainly fake.
- Wrong details. Fuzzy or shallow stampings, sole weights with the wrong font, a headcover with poor stitching or the wrong colours for that line, and a generic grip.

How to buy safely
Buy from UK sellers with a long, positive feedback history, ideally golf shops, and always pay through eBay so the Money Back Guarantee covers you if the putter isn't genuine. A Cameron with its original headcover and grip is worth more and is a good sign. If in doubt, ask Scotty Cameron's own authentication service or a reputable fitter to check it.
