After a serious car accident in February 2021, Tiger Woods returned to professional activity in Augusta, where he became extreme: he played the worst masters of his life but received a standing ovation that he will never forget. The fact is, in addition to coming back to compete on the PGA circuit, it had an impact for other reasons.

The news refers to the sticks used by the American when he covered the so -called “Tiger Slam”after winning the US Open, British Open, PGA Championship and The Masters, between 2000 and 2001.

That set of scaffolding was auctioned 12 years ago, but this weekend, it was sold again for a record amount: $ 5,156,152.

In 2010, investors and golf fanatics Todd Brock, had the opportunity to capture the clubs of one of his greatest idols. Previously, the Houston -born paid $ 57,242 to keep the game, that is kept secret for over a decade.

“I think they were worth over a million when I bought them 12 years ago, I never told anyone they were on me. I had a chance to admire them all this time considering consider myself privileged “explains Brock, who in buying this relic encounters a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

More than a decade passed, but Todd finally decided sell your most important thing and the golf clubs used by Tiger Woods reached a record price. The set of scaffolding was auctioned on Saturday of Golden Age Auctionsan agency that specializes in golf.

They did not expect to pay the millionaire amount at auction, despite the fact that the Tiger Woods figure has become relevant again in recent months. “The Tiger’s legacy will live on forever and they’re the highest -earning golf memorabilia in history.”Brock added.

Another record for Tiger.

Over the decades, Tiger Woods has entertained golf fans to an extreme degree, breaking his own records.

And this auction is no exception: American steels have become the most expensive golf memorabilia in history, which surpassed a record he already owned. And that is, just a few months ago, Golden Age Auctions itself was sold out one of Woods ’putters Scotty Cameron for $ 393,300.

In this case, the auctioned game is contained a 2 steel, a pitching wedge and even a 60 and 56 degree wedge, the last two with Tiger’s name engraved on it. In addition, it was sold 8 will that, in the words of the agency, “Should be placed in the Louvre museum”.

On most scaffolding, it is evident that use comes to produce some marks due to wear, something that adds value to the pieces. In fact, the aforementioned 8-iron was exposed in a Fox Business segment on Friday, at an event aimed at promoting the auction.

The fact is that Tiger Woods ’return to the circuit is constantly being talked about and waiting to see him again in action, his fans are still waiting for the many auctions where his items will be sold, on records that number.
