PXG-Zero Torque-One and Done

PXG Expands Zero Torque Putter Lineup with New PXG One & Done ZT Putter 

New high-MOI mallet pairs zero torque stability with advanced face technology and precision weighting to deliver a more repeatable putting stroke 

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – PXG has announced the launch of the new PXG® One & Done® ZT Putter, a high-stability mallet engineered to help golfers simplify face control and produce a more consistent start line on the greens. Designed around PXG’s growing Zero Torque (ZT) platform, the PXG One & Done ZT Putter combines a new onset hosel configuration, hollow-body construction, advanced face milling, and perimeter weighting to create a putter that naturally resists twisting throughout the stroke. 

As the zero torque category continues to gain momentum across the industry, PXG’s latest addition is designed to broaden the appeal of the technology with a highly stable, confidence-inspiring mallet putter that fits a wide range of players. It also further expands PXG’s ZT Putter family, which includes multiple head shapes from traditional blade profiles to high moment of inertia (MOI) mallets and long putter options. 

At the center of the design is PXG’s patented onset hosel configuration, which aligns the shaft axis near the putter’s center of gravity to create a toe-up balance point. This geometry minimizes rotational forces throughout the putting motion, helping golfers maintain face stability from takeaway through impact. The putter incorporates an integrated forward press design that positions the hands naturally at address while maintaining effective loft at impact. 

The PXG One & Done ZT Putter also has one of the most technically advanced putter constructions in PXG’s lineup. Its hollow 303 stainless steel body is injected with PXG’s proprietary lightweight S COR polymer, allowing our engineers to remove discretionary mass from the center of the putter and reposition weight to the extreme perimeter for substantially higher MOI. The S COR polymer accounts for more than 50 percent of the putter’s internal volume, supporting both stability and vibration control. 

The face structure pushes performance further. PXG’s third-generation pyramid face milling pattern features an aggressive geometry engineered to improve roll consistency while preserving the responsive feel preferred by accomplished golfers. The milled pyramid density is optimized to interact more consistently with golf ball dimples, producing a uniform sound and launch characteristic across the face. 

Engineers also developed an ultra-thin face construction measuring just 0.055 inches thick, an aggressive design decision to reposition additional mass for perimeter weighting. The ultra-thin face is structurally supported by the S COR polymer. 

Adjustable sole weights enable fitters to fine-tune total head weight and bias preferences for different player setups and stroke styles.  

The PXG One & Done ZT Putter is available in both right- and left-handed models for $449.99 at PXG Retail Stores, online at PXG.com, and through select fitting and retail partners worldwide.

GLENVIEW, IL – Grounds admission for the 2026 Evans Scholars Invitational at The Glen Club will be complimentary, courtesy of a new partnership between the Western Golf Association (WGA) and BCU, a community credit union headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois.

The Korn Ferry Tour event, featuring golf’s rising stars competing for a spot on the PGA TOUR, will be played July 23-26 in Glenview, Illinois. Complimentary grounds admission will be available to spectators on all four days of competition, courtesy of BCU.

Fans planning to attend the Evans Scholars Invitational must register online in advance to claim their complimentary tickets at esinvitational.com/tickets.
