Tiger Woods' $5.1 million 'Tiger Slam' iron set was the costliest golf item sold in 2022

Tiger Woods irons sold for a record-shattering amount at the Spring 2022 Golden Age Auction held from March 23 to April 9. They were the same irons he used to win four of his major championships in 2000 and 2001.

The Tiger Slam iron set includes nine Titleist 681 T-irons, two Vokey wedges, and two irons through pitching wedges that were sold at $5,156,162, a record-breaking price for all golf memorabilia, as reported by SI. The golf gear has the name "Tiger" stamped on it and carries an affidavit. Polygraph results from Steve Mata, former vice president of player promotions at Titleist, and Rick Nelson, former Titleist president, were also included to verify that the tools are original.

Woods won the US Open, the British Open, and the PGA Tour Championship with these irons, followed by the 2001 Masters. They were first sold to Todd Brock, a private equity investor, by Steve Mata for $57,242 in 2010. Twelve years later, Brock sold it, making a profit of $5,098,920.

The auction smashed the record set in 2013 when a green jacket belonging to Horton Smith was sold at $682,000. It was the same jacket with which Horton won his first Masters.
