Tiger Woods’ used golf clubs sold at auction for record price — five times more than expected price tag

The set of Tiger Slam irons and wedges features nine Titleist 681-T irons, 2-iron through pitching wedge.

Tiger Woods wasn’t thrilled with his putter on Saturday at the Masters, but one fan was so excited with some of Woods’ old clubs that he dropped more than five million dollars to get them.

The set of clubs that helped Woods win the Tiger Slam includes irons and wedges — nine Titleist 681-T irons, 2-iron through pitching wedge, as well as two Vokey wedges. One is a 58-degree wedge, the other a 60. Both wedges have “TIGER” stamped on them. The club that gets the most attention is the 8-iron, because of its small wear pattern in the middle of the face.

The set sold on Saturday for $5,156,162 at Golden Age Auctions.

Woods won the U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship in 2000 to become just the second golfer since Ben Hogan to win three majors in one year. Woods then made the turn in 2001 and won the Masters, becoming the first to hold all four professional major golf championships at the same time.

To verify the authenticity of the clubs, the irons come with an affidavit and polygraph results in 2010 from former Titleist vice president Steve Mata as well as a 2020 affidavit from former Titleist vice president Rick Nelson. The set also includes a 2000 Golfweek article by Jim Achenbach detailing the specs of the irons Woods used to win the 2000 PGA Championship, which match the specs of the irons being sold.

Ryan Carey, the owner of Golden Age auctions, said he has talked to “dozens of people intimately familiar with these clubs” about their authenticity. “We can say with 100 percent confidence that these clubs were used by Tiger Woods during his legendary 2000-01 seasons,” he told PGATour.com.

Golden Ages Auction ran the sale and if that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because it’s the same auction house that sold one of Woods’ backup Scotty Camerons last year for nearly $400,000. Golden Ages also sold Horton Smith’s green jacket from his 1934 Masters in 2013 for $682,000. It also sold a badge from that 1934 Masters Tournament for $600,000.

The clubs were purchased in 2010 by Todd Brock, who made a winning bid of $57,242. He kept them in a frame in his office.

“I got to enjoy them for 11-12 years,” Brock told PGATour.com. “I live a boring life. I don’t entertain a whole lot, so they weren’t getting the eyes on them that they deserve.”

Best Nike Tiger Woods apparel

Ever since he took the world by storm in 1997, Tiger Woods has been the standard for golf fashion.

Ever since he took the world by storm in 1997 when he won his first Masters and his first of 15 (and counting) majors, Tiger Woods has been the standard for golf fashion. Yes, we’re counting the baggy-pant phase as fashion.

This list explores the apparel and accessories that you too can wear to channel your inner Tiger. Unsurprisingly, most of our list is red and black. If Sunday greatness isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other colors offered throughout Nike’s collection of TW products.

Masters: Tiger Woods not wearing Nike golf shoes at Augusta National

Tiger was rocking FootJoy shoes for the second consecutive day at Augusta National.

As of Monday afternoon, Tiger Woods had not announced whether he intends to play in the 2022 Masters or not, but for the second straight day the five-time winner was at Augusta National hitting balls and practicing.

The new TaylorMade Stealth Plus+ driver was in the bag, along with his trusty Scotty Cameron Newport 2, the putter he has used to win 14 of his 15 major championships.

What is noteworthy, however, is that for the second day in a row, the newly-minted Hall of Famer was not wearing shoes with a swoosh. Woods wore a peach-colored Nike shirt and black pants on Sunday afternoon along with a pair of black FootJoy Premiere Packard shoes. On Monday, he matched a navy blue Nike polo with light gray pants and donned a pair of white FootJoy Premiere Packard shoes.

Golfweek contacted representatives from FootJoy and was told that the company has no comment at this time. Golfweek also reached out to Nike for comment but was unsuccessful in getting a response.

The FootJoy Premiere family of shoes were the most popular golf shoes on the PGA Tour in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The company discontinued them briefly, then re-released the Premiere in 2021. Today’s versions are much lighter than the originals, thanks to the outsoles now being made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) instead of leather. There are also lighter materials in the midsole that enhance cushioning, but the waterproof leather upper still provides significant lateral stability.

Woods is scheduled to speak with the media on Tuesday.

Masters: Winners’ bags and golf equipment since 2010 at Augusta National

Check out the clubs that have helped golfers such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson win the green jacket.

Very few golf tournaments test a player’s equipment as does Augusta National each year during the Masters. Golfers must be able to hit the ball high to help it stop quickly on the lightning-fast greens, but swirling winds – especially around Amen Corner – can wreak havoc on club selection.

The sand in bunkers tends to be fluffy, and if the ground is also soft in a given year, high-bounce wedges can be helpful. But in years in which the course plays firm and fast, high-bounce wedges are not ideal for pitching and chipping the ball off tight fairway lies.

Pros tend to travel to tournaments with 16 to 18 clubs, typically their standard 14 clubs plus a backup driver, a backup putter and possibly a 2-iron or a hybrid that can be swapped into play based on course conditions that week. When they go to the Masters, they often take more just to be sure they have everything they could possibly need. Wedges with different sole configurations usually find their way into travel bags, too.

A pro’s work with equipment company representatives and technicians is different at the Masters than most weeks on the PGA Tour. Equipment vans usually are parked close to the driving range at PGA Tour events, but during Masters week they do not park on property at Augusta National.

Instead, the vans are across Washington Road. Almost no one has permission to use a mobile phone on the range or course, so people have to walk back and forth all day. After lunchtime Wednesday, as the Par 3 Contest takes place, the trucks leave and start driving to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and Harbour Town Golf Links, the site of the RBC Heritage.

Below is a list of all the clubs that Masters champions since 2010 have used to win their green jacket.
