Clubs swung by the most iconic golfer on the planet used during perhaps the greatest run in golf are up for sale.

The irons and wedges Tiger Woods used from 2000-2001, when he won four consecutive majors completing the ‘Tiger Slam,’ are going to auction. It’s the first time since 2010 the Titleist 681-T irons and Vokey wedges are hitting the market.

Golden Age Auctions is home to the listing and has been responsible for selling a plethora of famous golf memorabilia over the years.

The opening bid price is set at $25,000, but the final sale price is expected to be much, much higher than that.

According to Daniel Rapaport of Golf Digest, the expectation is that the winning price will exceed the current golf memorabilia record of $682,000, the price of Horton Smith’s Masters green jacket which was sold in September of 2013.

Tiger Woods’ Irons Could Fetch $1 Million At Auction

Golden Age founder Ryan Carey doesn’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility the clubs fetch $1 million.

“I do wonder if [the irons] will be the first golf collectible to break the $1 million mark,” Carey told Golf Digest. “It’s not like there are many people collecting used iron sets, as it’s just not feasible, so it’s hard to know the market. These aren’t exactly baseball cards.”

You may be wondering who the person is that’s selling the clubs. The seller is a Houston businessman named Todd Brock who originally purchased the set for $57,242 in 2010 from Steve Mata.

Mata, who was working as Titleist’s VP of Player Promotions, was actually gifted the clubs from Woods himself. Titleist gave Woods a new prototype set of irons at the ’01 Buick Classic, Woods liked them and handed his old set to Mata.

UPDATE: After the auction went live, Woods’ agent denied the legitimacy of the irons. According to Tiger’s agent, Woods still owns the authentic set he used to win the ‘Tiger Slam.’
