This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/9/2012

Tiger Woods first U.S. Open win and the start of the Tiger Slam came at the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. The embroidered 2000 canvas flag is the most desired of the Pebble Beach course offered flags issued for this event. Appropriate hang tag is contained on the reverse of the flag. When Tiger is friendly with the recipient of his autograph on a piece of this nature, single signed flag from a Major win,the autograph tends to be larger. That is the case with this signature placed in the left quadrant with big,bold black sharpire a perfect ten penning. A difficult flag to obtain, with an un-improvable signature from Tiger Woods graces this historically significant third Major Championship offering. James Spence Authentication has reviewed this lot and their certificate of authenticity comes with this lot.

The Golf Auction is excited to have been selected to auction off the Donnie Wanstall collection. Donnie was a PGA Tour caddy for many years carrying the bag for such major champions as Mark O'Meara, Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, and top PGA pros such as John Cook, Tom Purtzer and others. Donnie is a member of the Professional Caddies Association and was on the bag for 14 PGA tour wins and several Ryder Cup victories. In 1994 Donnie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the Players Championship.

His collection was amassed over many years of collecting items while on Tour as well as the kindness of many of his PGA friends and players. In 1994 there was a famous fundraising auction that netted over $150,000 for Donnie and helped to establish the formation of the Caddies Assistance Fund. At that auction PGA players such as Payne Stewart and others took the microphone to help auction off memorabilia to support the cause. Since then, Mark O'Meara has also been of assistance to Donnie in seeing that Tiger Woods autographed items from his major victories. Many of these items are up for bid, please select the Donnie Wanstall collection link on the left hand side of the page. All of these items come from Donnie directly with the items and autographs being directly obtained by him.

The Golf Auction wishes to be a part of the fight to find a cure for MS and will donate five percent (5%) of the gross sale price realized from the Wanstall collection to multiple sclerosis research.
