Justin Thomas is auctioning off all four of his SM8 Raw Tour Issued Custom Vokey Wedges that honoured Kobe Bryant during the Waste Management Phoenix Open last week.
Thomas, who finished third at TPC Scottsdale, stamped the Vokey wedges with various words that paid tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers star, who, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, died in a helicopter crash on January 26.
All proceeds will be going to The MambaOnThree Fund, which exists to honour and support the loved ones of the victims involved in the tragedy. The auction is now underway, with the bidding already reaching $8,000 at the time of this report. It will run until February 19.
