Tiger Woods' Personal c.2006-2008 Used Nike SasQuatch 'TW-1' 7.5 Degree 460cc nexTI Tour Driver
Showcased here is Tiger Woods' actual Nike SasQuatch (SQ) Tour driver with the 'TW-1' personalization engraving that Tiger owned and used for practice sessions and or tournaments between 2006 and 2008. The 7.5 degree lofted yellow and grey 460cc head is on a Mitsubishi Diamana Blue 83 shaft here, each to the equipment model specifications of the 15-time major champion who was playing all Nike at this time sans his Scotty Cameron putter. Driver change came the next season when he added the then new Nike SQ Dymo driver in the bag in 2009.
This driver was given to our consignor by a former PGA Tour winner and associate of Tiger Woods. That individual, who our consignor met through the sports industry, obtained it directly from Woods in the late 2000’s after Tiger himself used it in the aforementioned practice sessions and or tournament capacity. It was not only carefully crafted and player issued by Nike to their top athlete Tiger Woods’ specifications, but they also included the highly significant ‘TW-1’ personalization engraved in the black hosel depicted in the 7th accompanying lot photo. Many in the industry are familiar with the 'What's in the Bag' Golfwrx blog that publishes the club options of tournament champions just after victory. These exact specs were used including the 7.5 degree head loft at the 2007 Tour Championship and historic 2008 US Open, among other tournaments, with its grip the only thing not original to the club. Further inspection will reveal there are ball marks on the face's sweet spot (photo 11), welcomed and expected signs of usage for Tiger's big stick in this lot. After owning this for approximately (all) 15 years, our consignor said it is time for the next collector to enjoy it. A letter of provenance signed by the consignor who's in the sports industry will accompany this lot. 43"
