London, Apr.10 : Golfing great Tiger Woods has created a masterpiece by blasting golf balls filled with paint onto a giant canvas.

Its novelty value - and Woods' signature - means it is bound to fetch at least a million dollars when it is sold during the Buick Open in June, reports The Sun.

It was created as part of an advert for the car company and they are understood to have put the seven-figure reserve on it before bidding even starts.

Buick has sponsored Woods since 1999, in a ten-year deal worth around 100 million pounds.

Golf fans - and art-lovers - will also be able to bid for the paint-splattered golf clothing the world number one wore while filming the commercial.
