The Nike SQ is by far the most infamous driver of the 2000s.

Affectionately known as the "Sasquatch," the big yellow bomber became a meme following its retirement, known for its massive forgiveness and a clubface ring akin to that of a sawed-off shotgun. But was it any good? 20 years, we still don't have an answer to that question, but for a brief moment in time, it was good enough for Tiger Woods, who won the 2006 Buick Invitational and Dubai Desert Classic with this uniquely spec'd Squatch, which heads to auction this week. Feast your eyes (and ears).

This particular example comes from the collection of late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, one of the great guy-stuff collectors of our time, owning everything from David Gilmour's iconic black Fender Stratocaster to Hunter S. Thompson's 1973 Chevrolet Caprice, nicknamed "Red Shark." It features Woods' signature across the clubface, as well as a variety of Woods' own modifications, including three uniquely placed pieces of lead tape, which remain undisturbed nearly two decades later. This bold piece of golf history will be made available to the public via Golden Age Auctions when the Fall Premier Auction opens on Nov. 5.
