The 8802 Is Back! At Least For 2014
/Jamie Kennedy tells the story of the greatest putter (ever!) making a brief return in 2014.
Wilson has added a milled face to its 8802, a vintage logo and a huge cover.
The original shape was designed and inspired by Arnold Palmer, who was a Wilson player in the early 1960s. When he left the company in 1963, Wilson removed the "Designed By Arnold Palmer" inscription on the sole and replaced it with Wilson 8802, referencing the catalog number of the putter. The 8802 shape and styling has remained largely unchanged for the 50 years since.
