Bidding has started for President Donald Trump’s old golf clubs.
RR Auction lists the RAC TP forged TaylorMade irons with a personal “D. Trump” engraving on the hosel, which Trump used for a few months according to former Trump National caddie master Andrew Lombardo.
Lombardo asked Trump if he could have the clubs about 10 years ago and has held on to them ever since. RR lists the estimated value at $30,000. So far there’s been one bid and the auction currently stands at $8,000. They were apparently gifted to Trump from former TaylorMade CEO Mark King.

Each iron features a True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shaft with red-and-black Golf Pride Dual Durometer grip, and the hosel of each clubhead is engraved, “D. Trump.” In fine condition, with expected light signs of use. From 2004 to 2008, Andrew Lombardo served as Assistant Caddie Master and Director of Outdoor Operations while employed at Bedminster, caddying for Trump over 100 times from the day the club first opened until his resignation in 2008, including twice during the filming of The Apprentice. According to Lombardo, Trump exclusively used these irons for a two-and-a-half month period while playing with and against a variety of celebrities, powerful businesspeople, and golf professionals at Bedminster.
