[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…A replica putter of 'the resurrected golf emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) was sold for nearly 200 million won.

On the 28th (Korean time), Golf.com in the US reported, "Tiger Woods' 'Scotty Cameron Newport 2' putter, which appeared at the golf equipment specialty auction house Golden Age Auction, was sold for $154,928 (181.86 million won)." This is the highest record for a putter auction price. It is not the putter actually used. It is a 'twin product' made exactly like the putter Woods used when he won a major. It has a Ping grip attached and Woods' name engraved on it.

Golden Age Auction predicted, "If the putter used by Woods appears, it would sell for $3 million (3.5 billion won) to $5 million (5.869 billion won)." The Tiger Woods Foundation put up 21 items for its own charity auction and raised $130,000 (150 million won). A replica of the cart Woods rode during the event in May sold for $16,500 (19.36 million won), and two course passes designed by Woods sold for $17,000 (19.96 million won) and $14,000 (16.43 million won), respectively.
