Tiger Woods putter sells for a record-breaking price
Tiger Woods has set yet another record, this time for the highest price ever paid for a putter.
During 2019, a more vanilla replica of Tiger Woods infamous Scotty Cameron putter sold for nearly 90K. This time around, the backup was more detailed, nearly an identical match to his historic Scotty that he loves so much, and sold for $154,928.
Yes, that isn’t a misprint or error on my part. $150K for a putter that Tiger hasn’t even used.
It’s a replica, a twin backup to the iconic Scotty Cameron that Tiger has made the world envious of. I can’t even imagine the money that would roll in if it was his actual putter (I’m guessing north of $5 million), but this is just the backup.

The sale of Tiger Woods replica/backup Scotty Cameron happened Saturday September 26th, bringing home a nice chunk of cash.
In case anything ever happened to his regular Scotty, they had made near-identical ones just in case he needed it. The one that broke the record for the highest sale price looks almost identical. It’s got the Ping grip. The stamping. The insignia. The Red Dot. It says Tiger Woods on it. It even says Scotty on the front with the Red Dot again.
Alas, there are no rounds on this club, and its sole purpose was a fail-safe in case something happened. That didn’t stop the bidder from owning a piece of history. Yes, you know that it’s a duplicate. It’s real, authentic, and was the true backup to Tiger Woods iconic putter.
I’ll never understand paying this much for a piece of sports history, but if you have the money, I can understand the draw to it. You now own one of a limited few, if not the only, true replica backup to Tiger Woods putter. Showing that off to your buddies immediately boosts you past nearly anything that you could showcase, especially in the world of golf.

The real Scotty Cameron doesn’t look like it is going anywhere anytime soon. Tiger has won 14 of his 15 majors with it, and I can’t see him giving it up for any reason unless his back just can’t handle hitting that putter anymore. Until then, you better start saving up on the off chance it goes up for sale. The $5 million I mentioned earlier would likely be a low estimate.
