Unbelievable. That is one of the highest prices I have heard paid for memorabilia. They sold at an auction held by Golden Age Auction. The person who owned them paid $57,000 for them at an auction 13 years ago. What a return on an investment!

Good for him.

But in reality a "tiger slam" is a made up term used after he "accomplished it." They tried to make it as if it were the same as a in year grand slam. A grand slam is obviously much harder as you simply can't wait to win 1 and then go from there. You need to win Augusta then win the next 3. Not win any major and then go "okay time to start." Still hard as shit but the media made up a term after he did it.

Yea seemed fishy to me . I would not imagine someone like Tiger would use the same exact clubs for an entire year . Especially wedges

What was even the reason Tiger would part with them?

If you read the story on the auction website the provenance lays out that these are indeed the irons. They have photographic proof from the tournaments that these are irons Tiger used. Again the real winner here is the guy who paid $57,000 for them. He has his money. Submitted the proof necessary that the auction house accepted the irons for sale. The seller is never going to have return the money. It's on the auction house if the winning bidder can prove they aren't irons Tiger used in all 4 events. They will have to reimburse him.
