The clubs Tiger Woods used to complete the iconic ‘Tiger Slam’ have been sold for over £4.2 million two decades after the historic achievement.
Woods used the same clubs for the four successive major victories that compile the ’Tiger Slam’: the 2000 US Open, Open Championship, PGA Championship and 2001 Masters. He then switched to a new set seven weeks after claiming his second green jacket.
In 2000, Woods won the PGA Championship in a playoff over Bob May, becoming the first player since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win three majors in one year. In doing so, he became the first player to repeat as PGA champion since Denny Shute in 1937.
