Tiger Woods Grand Slam club pool could set auction record
AmericaThe Titleist “Super Tiger” set used in 2001 when completing four major collections is estimated to cost more than $1 million – a record in the world of sports memorabilia auctions.
A Grand Slam in golf is determined when a player has all four traditional majors each year, respectively, including the Masters, PGA Championship, US Open and The Open Championship. In this prestigious group in 2000, Woods lost his first title but won all three remaining honors. In April 2001, he reached a grand slam when he won the Masters by -16, two strokes away from runner-up David Duval. After that, “Super Tiger” also brought The Players – the highlight of the PGA Tour.
When he hit a Grand Slam milestone with the Masters championship on April 8, 2001, Woods used a Titleist 681-T iron from number 2 to pitching wedges, a pair of 58 and 60 degree (loft) wedges, most notably the 8 iron due to the circular wear point. consistent on the face.
The Titleist 681-T set contains much of the incredible history of Tiger Woods.
On March 23, Golden Age Auctions on behalf of entrepreneur Todd Brocks held auctions of the above prestigious clubs with prices starting at $25,000. As of 4 p.m. on March 24, it had risen to $270,868. The auction will end on the evening of April 9, just three hours after the ceremony honoring the 2022 Masters champions.
“This set is likely to be the first golf memorabilia to break a million-dollar record because of its unique value,” said Ryan Carey, founder of Golden Age Auctions. Golf Digest.
Carey has reason to be confident, with his business results. In 2013, the unit sold Horton Smith’s green jacket when he won the opening Masters in 1934 for $682,000. To this day, this is still a record in the world of sports memorabilia.
Last year, Golden Age Auctions sold the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 – Woods’ spare putter, 2002 for $393,300. Recently, tickets to the first Masters show found a new owner for $600,000.
In 2010, Todd Brocks spent $57,242 to purchase the Woods’ Titleist 681-T set from Steve Mata at an auction and owns it to this day. Mata got “precious” at the Buick Classic in June 2001, after Woods tried the new iron. At that time, Mata was the Vice President of Star Golf at Titleist.
When Mata sold it to Brocks, Woods didn’t confirm it was a grand slam item. But at the current auction, Golden Age Auctions features a resume, as well as testimonials from former Titleist leaders, and an article on the specifications of the 681-T kit when Woods won the 2000 PGA Championship.
Woods officially entered the World Golf Hall of Fame during an honors ceremony on March 9.
