Tiger Woods Signed 2005 Masters SERIES Badge #R19746 BGS Auto Grade 10

A perfect '10' black sharpie signature carefully placed across the front by champion Tiger Woods catapults this 2005 Masters Tournament series badge #R19746 to thinner air and anoints it as the pinnacle of exemplars. It's the nicest Tiger signature we have seen on this badge, clearly not obtained at the course. It was once the means of admission to each day of the historic week, headlined by a single unforgettable moment that matched it in intensity. Woods' improbable chip-in from the collar of hole #16 Redbud during the Sunday final round came with the iconic vocals of the great Verne Lundquist. "IN YOUR LIFE HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT?!" It was warranted. Tiger Woods' slung his ball well past the hole, using the contour of the green and expansive course knowledge pulled the string on his Nike ball towards the front water. Tracking, tracking and then sitting on the lip of the cup for what seemed like an eternity with almost no movement before it emphatically dropped in. The aforementioned analyst call and Tiger/caddy Stevie Williams tandem reaction brought the scene together with unmatched emotion. It remains one of the greatest single shot highlights in Masters Tournament history, and Tiger's, and must-watch (again) audio-video footage. When viewing it you will notice many of these very series badges affixed to locked-in patrons behind the green. Woods claimed his fourth Masters title in 2005, joining a club composed of just Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. A new generation of viewers were able to witness and contribute to many of those roars during the special weekend in April 2019. For the first time in 14 years Tiger was back on top and slipping on the green jacket. While this victory was new territory for some, many reminisced of the Tiger Woods that transcended the sport of golf and captured the Masters wins in 1997, 2001, 2002 and what many thought was his final - 2005. In the skyrocketing signed ticket category, a gem-mint signature by definition from Tiger Woods on the 2005 series badge will certainly garner attention from investors and collectors alike. Scarcity of this badge, considering Tiger Woods' quality item signing habits and grade of signature, plays a major role for this lot. Beckett has reviewed this signature (10) and graded this badge (6) noted in the encapsulation label #15490177 along with the tournament specifics for valuation, preservation and presentation.
