The auction will be going on till August 28, 7:00 PM EST. It is named the “Personal 2002 Scotty Cameron Backup Putter” on the site, with the current bid at $64,843. As per the description, the putter has been in the Middle East, Far East, and Europe for 18+ years, and was suddenly cleared to reach their warehouse. They also consider it one of those sure-shot items that will always be in demand.

This putter was also designed by Scotty Cameron for a prime Tiger Woods. There were only a few backup putters made for Woods, which could mean a high demand for this one. However, this one was used only once in a tournament. They even added that one day, one of Woods backup will sell for $1 million.

Keeping this in mind, there are very few Woods’ putters that are actually on the market. This makes the one up for auction very valuable. Some time ago, a 2001 backup was sold for $154,928.
