The Scotty Cameron Newport 2 is the most iconic putter model in golf — the blade that Tiger Woods made famous and that has remained the benchmark for tour-level mallet putters for over 25 years. In Australia, Scotty Cameron putters hold their value better than virtually any other golf equipment, with limited editions and custom shop pieces sometimes appreciating in value.
The Newport 2 has evolved through multiple generations: the original Select (early 2000s), Studio Select (2014–2016), Special Select (2021) and the newer iterations. Each generation has its followers, but the Special Select is widely considered the best modern expression of the Newport 2 design.
If someone asks me what single piece of used golf equipment holds its value best in Australia, the answer is always a Scotty Cameron putter in good condition. The Newport 2 is the most liquid of all Scotty models — everyone knows what it is and everyone who wants a Scotty tends to want a Newport 2. If you find a Special Select Newport 2 in good condition at AU$550, you should buy it without hesitation.

Putter-specific value factors:
Australian prices consistently run 15–25% above FX-converted US and UK equivalents. Use this table to verify that a listing is priced correctly for the AU market.
| Condition | PGA VG (USD) | → AUD | Golfbidder (GBP) | → AUD | AU private sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Like new (Special Select) | ~$380 | ~$589 | ~£328 | ~$640 | $650–$850 |
| Good (Special Select) | ~$295 | ~$457 | ~£255 | ~$497 | $520–$650 |
| Good (Studio Select) | ~$195 | ~$302 | ~£170 | ~$332 | $350–$480 |
Australian used prices are higher than international equivalents due to lower supply, higher import costs on new equipment, and limited price transparency. This is real and structural — not seller optimism. If a listing is at FX-converted US levels, that is a genuine deal.
Selling: Facebook Marketplace and the Golf Clubs For Sale Australia group are the fastest platforms for popular models. List at the top of your price range with "offers welcome". eBay AU gives broader national reach but charges 12–14% in fees — factor this into your asking price.
Buying: For popular models, don't rush. The AU used market for mainstream clubs is well-stocked and most listings are priced optimistically. An offer 10–15% below asking on a well-priced listing is a reasonable opening position. Always ask for photos of the face, sole, hosel and shaft label before committing.
