John Daly is a two-time major champion, winning both the British Open and PGA Championship. Those victories came in 1995 and 1991, respectively, a time in which Daly was in his prime on tour.

Since then, his game has taken a sharp turn, and now he’s selling one of his most prized possessions (kind of): the claret jug from his British Open victory.

The website Green Jacket Auctions is auctioning off one of Daly’s two replicas that he was given as a result of winning in 1995. The champion is allowed to hold onto the original claret jug for a year before having to give it back.

Daly made sure to share on Twitter that he still has a jug of his own.

“Just to let everyone know I still have my CLARET JUG xtra 1 thought was going to b donated to St Andrews museum #nevergiveupmy2majortrophies,” Daly tweeted Friday.

The high bid was at $11,789 as of Friday afternoon, although the reserve hasn’t been met. There’s still time to pony up the required cash as the auction doesn’t come to a close until 7 p.m. April 9.

The question remains: Is it worth paying $12,000-plus for a replica trophy, even if it was Daly’s?
