Andrew Putnam's Professional Career

In 2011, Putnam became a professional, and in 2012, he participated in the eGolf Professional Tour. His initial appearance on the Web.com Tour in 2013 was 49th on the money list, which was insufficient to get him a card on the PGA Tour. In April 2014, Putnam achieved his first professional victory at the Web.com Tour's WNB Golf Classic.

In the same year, he participated in the Shell Houston Open, the same tournament as his brother Michael, although he did not make the cut. He finally qualified for the PGA Tour for the 2014–15 season by placing eighth in the Web.com Tour Finals that year.

Putnam missed the cut in 13 of the 23 events during the 2014–15 PGA Tour season. He lost his tour card after finishing 192nd in the FedEx Cup, which was a season-long event, and rejoined the Web.com Tour for the 2016 season.

He placed 41st on the money list and took home $125,981 during the 2016 Web.com Tour season. This was insufficient to get a card on the PGA Tour. Putnam took home $266,296 in the 2017 Web.com Tour after placing eighth overall in the regular season. In February 2017, he also took home the Panama Claro Championship. For the 2017–18 PGA Tour season, he was able to reclaim his card on the tour.

Putnam shared the lead at the ZOZO Championship's second round in the 2022–2023 golf season, earning a T2 finish—his best since 2021. He had similar success at the RSM Classic, finishing T21 after taking the lead once more after the second round.

He finished in T4 at the 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii. He finished in T9 after an undefeated group play at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play, even though he lost. At the 2023 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, when he finished in the top five for the first time in five starts, he concluded the season.

Andrew Putnam's Playing Style

As there is not much available on his playing style, his bag details can help in giving a rough idea, so as per Putnam's gear, he prefers a well-balanced setup focusing on accuracy and adaptability.

It appears from his pick of the Ping G425 driver that he values control and distance off the tee. He also focuses forgiveness and dependability on longer shots, as seen by his choice of Adams Idea Pro hybrid and Cleveland Launcher fairway wood. He probably looks for control and precision as well on approach shots with his True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts and Srixon ZX7 irons, which are renowned for their feel.

Due to the Odyssey White Hot RX putter, he might prefer a smooth feel on the greens and the Cleveland RTX wedges. Overall, Putnam's equipment reflects consistency, precision, and versatility in his playing style.
