Tiger's F*cking Driver

        Tiger's F*cking Driver.

        No, those profane words aren't ours, they are actually the name of this protoype 7.5 degree Titleist 975T-FD driver - believed to be the only prototype driver that Titleist ever made for specifically for Tiger Woods.

        This extraordinary golf club is consigned to us directly from the former Titleist Vice President that was in charge of getting Tiger his clubs, and comes with a notarized letter explaining the details presented here.

        In approximately the year 2000, larger head drivers were all the rage on tour and in the marketplace. Tiger Woods had a different request for Titleist - Tiger wanted to try out a smaller driver very similar to the 975D, but with some some slightly different specifications. So Titleist made this prototype driver, a 975T-FD, which literally stands for "Tiger's F*cking Driver", an inside joke at Titleist!

        Tiger used this club on the driving range and during practice rounds. According the USGA regulations, prototype clubs are allowed during practice rounds but not during official play. To use during official play, Titleist would have to submit the head to the USGA for approval to be added to the list of conforming clubs. This is the same procedure with golf balls and why you see players using prototype balls during practice but not during tournament play. There have been many instances where players were disqualified for forgetting to swap out the balls or clubs during tournament play, most notably PJ Hayes who DQ'd himself out of Q School in 2008 for doing that exact thing and Paul Azziger who used a Callaway prototype not yet approved as USGA conforming in the Travelers Tournament in 2009. For this reason this Titleist 975T-FD was not used during tournament play.

        To our consignor's knowledge (and he was the person in charge of Tiger's clubs), this is the ONLY driver that Titleist ever made specifically for Tiger Woods (irons are customized every day but drivers cannot easily by custom produced, as explained above). This great driver comes with a letter of authenticity from a former Titlest Vice President.
