[Golf Topic] Woods Backup Putter "Sold for 460 Million KRW at Golden Age Auction~"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The putter used by 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA, photo) was sold for 460 million won.

On the 30th (Korean time), Golf.com in the US reported, "The Scotty Cameron Newport2 putter used by Woods in 2002 was auctioned for $393,300 (457.72 million won) at the Golden Age Golf auction." Scotty Cameron annually produces 1-2 backup putters for Woods for practice and testing purposes. Although it was never used in a tournament, the fact that Woods owned it and used it for practice adds to its rarity.

USA Today in the US reported, "According to the auction industry, $393,300 is the highest price ever paid for a golf club." Gary Player's (South Africa) 1974 Masters winning trophy was sold for $523,483 (610 million won). Horton Smith's (USA) green jacket, awarded as the inaugural Masters champion in 1934, was sold for $682,000 (790 million won) in 2013, which is the highest price ever paid for golf-related items.
