Golf, commonly referred to as the “little white ball,” is an outdoor sport known for its elegance and gentlemanly appeal. For the average person, golf is not a frequently played sport due to its strict course requirements. But do you know which golf club is the most expensive? Or which clubs rank among the priciest in the world? Today, we have compiled a list of the Top 10 Most Expensive Golf Clubs in the World—let’s take a look!

1. Andrew Dickson Long-Nose Putter – $181,000

2. Simon Cossar Fruitwood Metal-Head Blade Putter – $165,000
