Woods had won the Tiger Slam from 2000 to 2001. He is the first and only golfer to achieve this feat, and thus the record is named after him. 

What does the auctioneer have to say about the statement of the agent of Tiger Woods? 

“This is what we do. And this is my livelihood.” Ryan Carey, the founder of Golden Age Golf Auctions, responded after Woods’ agent stated that the irons on auction are not the legit ones. He further explained that he only put any items for auction if he is fully confident in their legitimacy.
