Austie Rollinson

Austie Rollinson is the Sr. Director of Putter R&D for Scotty Cameron/Titleist at Acushnet Company, a position that he has held since January 2022. Previously, he was Chief Designer for the Odyssey putter brand at Callaway Golf Company. Rollinson worked at Callaway since graduating college in 1991, and as head designer for the Odyssey brand since 1997. He has designed custom putters for Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els. After the Professional Golf Association banned anchor putters in 2012, Rollinson led the team at Oddysey that designed an arm lock putter to lock against a golfer's forearm. His name appears on more than 300 patents related to the design of golf equipment. In 1990, Rollinson sent a letter to Ely Callaway, Jr., the founder of Callaway Golf, expressing an interest in working at the company. The letter led to an interview in which Callaway hired him as a golf club designer.

Rollnson has a talent for rapidly designing putters for players on the PGA Tour, including when they face trouble with using one during a tournament. He noted in a profile on golf.com, "I always love the Friday afternoon fire drill." When Phil Mickelson showed an interest to try out the Sabertooth belly putter used by Keegan Bradley, Rollinson made him a new putter over a weekend.
