I think it’s nothing more than the average equipment snob wanting to flash that Scotty head-cover around. I’ve had 2 different SC putters in the past and I cant say they outperform my TM Original Spider that I have now...
I get they are widely used on tour but so are all the other brands as well.

I had a really long post put together about putting and why certain putters are better for certain players, but I'll distill it down to these comments.
Scotty Camerons are used extensively on tour because they are the best feeling putters around, according to the best players and putters on tour. Have been for a few decades. Their balance is second to none and their milling is arguably the best in the business with Bettinardi and Peretti being right there. I can understand why some people don't like them, but when push comes to shove and I had to choose only one putter to have in my collection, it would be a Scotty Cameron. Now whether that be a Sante Fe, a Cira 62, or a Studio Design is open for debate.
As for the equipment snob, yep, they exist. They're goofs, but they exist. It's why PXG has seen explosive growth in their brand. Most of the players I know who are playing a Scotty are not sporting a Scotty cover. First thing did when they got any expensive putter was ditch the cover and get a generic, that way their putter doesn't find its way into someone else's bag when they leave their clubs on the stand while having a beverage or six. Hide those expensive clubs in plain sight!
