Here's the USGA rule on putter grips:
The Rules of Golf
"
(ii) A putter grip may have a non-circular cross-section, provided the cross-section has no concavity, is symmetrical and remains generally similar throughout the length of the grip. (See Clause (v), below.)"
I'm confused by that sentence as well. Obviously the grip can get smaller as it travels down the shaft.
The Rules don't say anything about whether it can or can't get bigger--so I'd assume that it's OK.
