From the Little Brown Jug to the Golden Clam, sports are filled with interesting trophies. But this prize for a certain golf tournament in Australia’s Top End might be the wildest we’ve ever seen. Emphasis on wild.
Aaron Pike won the NT PGA Championship on Sunday to earn a second career title on the PGA Tour of Australasia. And in doing so, he claimed his first crocodile trophy. No, really. The trophy is a mounted crocodile skull with a golf ball in it. Have a gander:
Crikey! And yes, it’s a real crocodile skull. We know this, because the tournament claims it as such. Plus, you can tell because the trophy looks slightly different every year:

So congrats on the win, Aaron. And the statement piece for your living room.
