“The original heel-toe blade that defines the family; softer toe hang suits an arcing stroke. An identity club players keep for a decade.”

The Newport is the shape that everything else in Cameron's catalog answers to. It descends directly from the Classic 1 that Bernhard Langer used to win the 1993 Masters — Cameron's first major win — and was renamed Newport when Cameron partnered with Titleist in 1994. The 2003 Studio Stainless version refined it again: milled from 303 stainless steel, slightly wider front-to-back with a thinner topline and more radiused weight bumps down the back flange than the original Classics-era head, softening the look while keeping the quarter-toe-hang heel-shafted geometry that defines the whole family. Decades later 'Newport' is still Cameron's flagship nameplate, and the shape underpins nearly every subsequent Cameron blade — Newport 2, Newport Beach, Newport 2.5, and beyond.

This is Cameron's identity shape, not a niche favorite: it traces to a major-championship win (Langer, 1993 Masters), has run continuously under Titleist since 1994, and ScottyIndex's 424 confirmed eBay sales price it at a $400 median (range $271-550) — high volume AND a high price simultaneously, the signature of an icon rather than a cult curiosity. Cameron's own 'Collector's Corner' series is devoted to tracing 'the evolution of the Newport,' underlining its status as the brand's central design.

The reference blade for a better player with a natural, moderate arc who wants Cameron's most classic look and feel — it's the shape most players picture when they picture 'a Scotty Cameron.' A beginner, a straight-stroke putter, or anyone chasing forgiveness should look to a Cameron mallet (GoLo, Futura X) instead.

• Traces its lineage to the Cameron Golf International 'Classic 1,' which Bernhard Langer used to win the 1993 Masters — Cameron's first major championship win as a putter maker.
• Renamed 'Newport' when Cameron partnered with Titleist in late 1994, replacing the Classic 1/Classics naming.
• The 2003 Studio Stainless refinement is milled from 303 stainless steel and is slightly wider front-to-back with a thinner topline and more radiused back-flange weight bumps than the original Classics-era head.
• ScottyIndex tracks 424 confirmed eBay sales at a $400 median (range $271-550) — unusually high resale value paired with unusually high sales volume for a putter this old.
• Scotty Cameron's own site runs a dedicated 'Collector's Corner: The Evolution of the Newport' feature tracing the shape's decades of refinements.
• Launched alongside the wider-bodied Newport 2 and the slit-faced Newport Beach in the same 2003 Studio Stainless series.

The Newport nameplate has run continuously since 1994, making the 2003 Studio Stainless version one refinement point among many; it sat alongside the wider-bodied Newport 2 and slit-faced Newport Beach in the same Studio Stainless launch. Cameron kept revising and relaunching 'Newport' under Select, Studio Select and Special Select branding for decades afterward, making it arguably the single most copied blade putter shape in golf.

$400 median across 424 confirmed eBay sales (ScottyIndex), typical range $271-550 — a genuinely high resale figure for a 20+ year old putter, reflecting sustained demand for the shape rather than nostalgia pricing alone. A clean head with the matching factory headcover holds roughly 90% of that value; missing covers or refinished heads trade well below it.
