Disputing irons for sale, Woods says he has irons that led to Slam

Woods says Grand Slam irons in his garage

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods says the Titleist irons for sale on eBay were not the ones he used to win four consecutive majors through the 2001 Masters.

A former Titleist tour rep is offering Woods’ irons on eBay with a minimum opening bid of $250,000.

Woods said Tuesday that while those might be his clubs, they weren’t the ones he used in winning the U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship and Masters in a span of 294 days.

Steve Mata tells a different story. He says when he swapped out irons in New York in the summer of 2001, Woods told him to keep the previous set. Mata has been unemployed the last 17 months and says he needs the money.
