Damm, Now I know why my 1.6 bid was not enough! Wednesday July 12 2:14 PM ET Mystery Bidder Pays $1.7 Million to Play with Woods DUBLIN, Ireland (Reuters) - A mystery bidder at a charity auction paid $1.7 million to play a round of golf with world No. 1 Tiger Woods. The high-rolling winning bidder will join Woods and Mark O'Meara for 18 holes later this year in Florida. Former British Open and U.S. Masters champion O'Meara joked that he would throw in a lesson for free after bidding went through the $1.2 million level, Ireland's RTE radio reported. The auction was held Tuesday after a two-day charity pro-am tournament organized by Irish racehorse owner and gambler JP McManus in Limerick. The event, which attracted Woods and a host of top players, is believed to have raised up to $12.04 million for local charities. Woods is expected to take a brief fishing holiday in Ireland before heading to St. Andrews for next week's British Open. TH
