Tiger Wood's Driver

Although it has been reported that Tiger's driver is highly customized for him, tigerwoods.com states that Tiger Woods' driver is a Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 cc driver (8.5 degree).

The current best price for this driver, as listed on http://www.bizrate.com/ is $529.99. You might be able to find a used model on eBay currently in the $175 range without shipping costs.

According to http://www.golfio.com/, "The Nike SasQuatch Tour 460 driver has a taller face height and less breadth than the Sas Quatch 460cc. This unique profile delivers a more boring trajectory and the increased workability desired by better players. To get a hotter response and greater consistency, the SasQuatch Tour 460 has a face of layered yet tightly compressed titanium called NexTi, developed exclusively for Nike Golf. Available only in Nike Golf drivers, NexTi titanium face is thinner, stronger and lighter than conventional titanium. Combining NexTi material with SasQuatch Geometry provides a powerful blend of distance and accuracy."

You can find the 9.5 degree, stiff flex model for $199, currently at http://www.edwinwattsgolf.com/.
