Ben Baller’s 24K gold 1-of-1 Scotty Cameron Circle-T putter, and one of the coolest gear setups in golf
When it comes to cool, Ben Baller is the ultimate curator.
Ben Yang, a.k.a. Ben Baller, is a world-famous jeweler, music producer, actor, and podcaster who’s been a tastemaker for celebrities, musicians, and sports stars for decades.
He’s made custom jewelry designs for some of the biggest stars in the world, including Drake, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Michael Jackson, and he worked as a music producer for Dr. Dre at Priority Records and Aftermath Entertainment.
Music lovers may recognize his name from an A$AP Ferg namedrop in the 2017 smash hit, Plain Jane.
“Ferg is the name, Ben Baller did the chain, Tourneau for the watch, presi Plain Jane,” raps Ferg.
Yeah, Ben Baller is certifiably cool.
Over the last two years, Ben Baller has also developed a newfound love of golf, and he’s bringing his eye for “cool stuff” to the golf world.
Despite his short period of involvement in the sport, he’s already broken 80 four times, he was on the winning 2023 Farmers Insurance Pro-Am team, and he’s earned the nickname “BBACK9.”
And, as one could only expect from the longtime jewelry titan, Ben Baller also has one of the coolest WITBs in all of golf. His setup includes a Bubba Watson pink proto Ping G430 driver (gifted to him by Bubba Watson personally), blacked-out TaylorMade P790 irons, custom-stamped TaylorMade MG4 wedges, and a jaw-dropping 24K gold Scotty Cameron 1-of-1 Circle-T putter, custom-made by Scotty Cameron putter fitting director Paul Vizanko.
As part of GolfWRX.com’s new Celebrity WITB video initiative, enjoy the video below, where Ben Baller takes us through his current “What’s in the Bag?”

Does the wear on Tiger’s Scotty Cameron putter affect the roll in any way? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing how the wear on Tiger’s putter may or may not affect the roll of the ball. WRXer ‘NikeGolfer93’ raises the subject, saying:
“With the obsession on pure roll and having grooves on a putter, I wonder about the implications for Tiger’s putter.
It’s noticeably worn with dings all over and has a distinct mark in the sweet spot, possibly resulting in a slight concave shape. Could this affect the consistency of the roll?”
And our members have been having their say on the matter in our forum, with the vast majority agreeing that the impact would be extremely low to non-existent.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- MattM97: “It could, so could the wind, the grass, some dirt, a bug, some water, etc. A ton of things can factor the roll just have to hit your line and speed and hope for the best.”
- brutus27: “Guys, at the end of the day, putting is an art form. You just need a repeatable stroke. Those imperfections do not affect Tigers roll or consistency. There are so many other, much larger variables related to the putting surface than those minuscule blemishes to affect consistency. Just my 2 cents.”
- jonsnow: “I know it has that famous wear mark, but it’s not like he’s hitting bunker shots with it. Probably just worn the chrome off from number of repetitions hitting the sweet spot. I would be surprised if there is any actual concavity.”
