Tiger Woods Signed 1996 B.C. Open Pro-Am Saturday Ticket (4th Pro Start) Stub #000302 - PSA AUTHENTIC
Unsurprisingly a PSA pop 1-of-1 with none higher is this dazzling Tiger Woods time-period black sharpie signed 4th pro start 1996 BC Open ticket! The 20-year-old "rook" Tiger Woods' made only his fourth professional start at the BC Open in upstate New York less than a month after his famous "Hello World" presser dropping amateur status. Woods told Curtis Strange his plans on winning right away, and despite a grin and "You'll learn" from Strange with disbelief - Tiger did. This was the final tournament he played without a PGA Tour win on his resume, but after his superb T-3 finish it didn't take a mathematician to tell he was trending towards it - and quickly. His GMO debut result was T-60, then came Bell Canadian Open 11th, Quad City Classic - T5. A 3-under 68 first round was followed by a pair of 66's and the final round was called off due to inclement weather for a 54-hole 1996 BC Open tournament and impressive podium finish for Woods, still under the minimum legal drinking age.
Tiger Woods was standing still while his world was spinning going into the 1996 BC Open. "After a manic month of golf during which Woods won the U.S. Amateur, turned professional, signed one of the largest endorsement deals ever, then nearly won in only his third pro start, he is an exhausted young man,' AP News reported going into his fourth professional tournament at the 1996 BC Open. "The fan attention is the best part," Woods said. "The majority are kids. Maybe they can relate to someone who is only a year away from being a teen-ager." This ticket was there and close to the action and meteoric rise of Tiger Woods the professional golfer as you can get (in his hand). It was his fourth start and last in defeat - but it is hard to say that in a T3 effort. PSA #71816743 encapsulated for valuation, presentation and preservation.
