Robbie Williams got involved in a fierce bidding war against Chris Evans at a golf event this weekend.
Guests at a gala dinner for Sky One's All-Star Cup were able to bid for Tiger Woods' Masters flag and two tickets for the next Masters tournament.
Chris and Robbie battled against each other in friendly fashion after the starting price of £7,000 was announced, however the bidding soon became fierce, and Robbie was forced to throw in the towel after the price reached £39,000, allowing Chris to take home his prize for £40,000.
"It was a real battle of the egos," a source told The Mirror. "Chris and Robbie were being egged on by pals sitting on their tables. They were on opposite sides of the room but were calling each other's bluff. Before long the whole room was egging them on.
"It was clear neither of them wanted to be outdone. They are both millionaires with cash to spare, so they were up for the challenge."
One onlooker added, "Chris was offering to buy drinks for everyone. He was also posing for pictures with his newly-acquired flag. He seemed very proud to have won it at auction."
