Scottie Scheffler’s Yukon XL is for sale.
Kind regards | Heritage auctions
The Kelley Blue Book sets the resale value for one 2012 GMC Yukon XL at $8,571but that’s assuming the car is in relatively good condition.
How about a 2012 GMC Yukon XL with 184,000 miles on it? What about the one that crossed the United States several times in the mid-to-late 2010s? Would it help if there was a new stream? What if the car was specifically marketed as a “Master Edition” Yukon GMC, with license plates specifying that it was purchased in Augusta, Ga., during Masters week?
Oh, and what if the car belonged to a two-time Masters champion and undisputed World No. 1? What if he used that car to travel to most of the formative golf tournaments of his life? What if he was still only 28 years old, with a long future with more golf titles in his future? How much would it cost to buy his old set of wheels?
That’s the question facing golf fans around the world on Monday as Scottie Scheffler’s famous Yukon XL goes up for auction with a starting bid of $50,000. Proceeds from the sale, which is being handled by Heritage Auctions, will support the Triumph Over Kid Cancer charity.
Scheffler’s family bought the Yukon after their previous car broke down while traveling to the 2012 Masters with Scottie’s high school golf team. As such, the truck is a special “Master Edition” vehicle with signage indicating its origin from an Augusta, Ga., GM dealership.
Scott Scheffler gifted his son the car when he turned pro in 2018, and Scottie drove the car all over the United States for the better part of the next half-decade as he began his rapid ascent to the top of the world. of golf.
After the car was retired earlier this year, Scheffler’s father suggested Scottie auction it off to benefit TOKC, a charity started by the family of an old golfing friend who died of a form of rarely bone cancer. Scottie quickly accepted, and before long CBS Sports broadcaster Jim Nantz had pledged $50,000 for the car to help raise the bid.
