As Tiger Woods is competing in a tournament for the first time in over 500 days, the irons he used to win four majors in a row from 2000 to 2001 sold at auction for a record-breaking price.
The Titleist 681-T iron set that helped him win what is known as the Tiger Slam sold for $5,156,162 at Golden Age Auctions. It shattered the previously reported record for golf memorabilia held by Horton Smith's green jacket, which sold in 2013 for $682,000.
"I've had them for 12 years now, and I haven't told anybody that I owned them. They were in a really nice frame in my office and I'm not an investor in memorabilia, so nobody was seeing the irons," Brock said."I've had the opportunity to see these for 12 years and it's like a Rembrandt, where somebody takes it to their castle and it's never seen again.
