Amit Patel, the former Jacksonville Jaguars employee who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and illegal monetary transaction in December, apparently had a taste for expensive sports memorabilia.

In a court filing from federal prosecutors obtained by ESPN's Michael DiRocco, Patel's spending included purchasing the putter Tiger Woods received as a gift for winning the 1996 U.S. Amateur Championship for $47,113.92.

Patel pleaded guilty to the two felony charges after he was accused of stealing more than $22 million from the Jaguars over a four-year period from 2019 to '23.
