Question:
My grips are logo side down because I don’t like looking at the logos when I am over the ball.
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – It’s really a two part question. The grip itself. He likes the way this particular one feels. And the exposure. If he’s not getting paid, he’s not carrying or showing the logo. its also why he has the golf pride grips with the logo side down. No endorsment deal.

I dunno. It never occurred to me to focus on my grips when I’m trying to hit the ball… –Blair "Which way is the hole?"

Can you see the logos when you are gripping the club? I doubt if he really has the grips upside down. The only time you can see the logo on a grip is when the player is not gripping the club for a shot. The club could be in any orientation then, so you’ll probabaly see it anyway. Also, I wasn’t aware that any pro had an direct endorsement deal with a grip manufacturer (or a shaft manufacturer come to that)
Response:
If you will notice almost all tour players have the name on the grip facing down. It’s because the logo is distracting. From going to lots of tournaments I can tell you that a LOT of players use Golf Pride grips…all facing down. GoLow

Unfortunately, it is a Ping Anser design that has been ripped off.

Response:
Tiger has a Ping Grip on his putter because that is the grip he started with, and no other grip feels the same to him. It is blacked out because he has no endorsement with Ping. I read this in a Golf magazine a couple of years back. HTH, Mike – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – A better question would be "Why does Tiger have a Ping grip on a Titliest putter?" As far as the course is/was concerned. It was long and tight in places. It is difficult to assess a golf course on television as there is no 3rd dimension to view the contours. All in all I thought it was an enjoyable event. you will find most private courses do to make it a little easier for the members. From the TV perspective, it looked like downhill,straight-away holes, with little trouble to get into for the average golfer. Between the four players it seemed to come down to putting for birdies, and nothing else. (except for that trap shot Tiger pulled off). No trees, no doglegs, no interfering ponds, no ranger to speed up play, no gators. And how many courses do we play that have first cut and second cut roughs? And most importantly: Why does Tiger have the letters PING blacked out on the grip of his Scotty Cameron putter? I’ve noticed that for a couple of years now.

Tiger’s used a Ping grip on whatever putter for years. It’s about the feel of the thing in his hands. And since he has no endorsement deal with ping, he blacks out the brand name. It’s really a two part question. The grip itself. He likes the way this particular one feels. And the exposure.
