Put your money where your putter is, and you’ll find yourself with your mouth wide open, as the Tiger Woods’ Scotty Cameron Newport 2 just sold for a whopping $44,000.
This most notable flagstick is arguably the most famous club in modern golf history–that is along with the notable “Calamity Jane” flatstick used by Robert Tyre “Bobby” Jones Jr.!

In this week’s edition of “Items Selling For More than You Could Ever Afford,” Golf WRX, reported the pricy sale of the putter. In 2015, a Japanese collector purchased a similar Woods backup putter for $60K.
Green Jacket Auctions, who put the putter up, reports that Scotty Cameron only produced one or two backup putters for Woods annually. Reportedly, Woods still owns the vast majority of these putters and has stuck to his “gamer” for 13 of his 14 major championships.
Green Jacket Auctions adds,
“This putter comes with a certificate of authenticity from Scotty Cameron, who describes it as follows “Made for Tiger Woods, GSS Newport II with rare vertical stamping & sight dot”. The putter also comes with a 2nd letter from 2003 on Scotty Cameron’s own letterhead, which also states “This putter was made as a backup for Tiger Woods.”’
The auction house’s Masters lot also included Woods’ 2005 Masters-winning Nike One Gold golf ball, which sold for just north of $30K.
