Tiger Woods Signed Stanford Logo Golf Ball (Match Used?) - Signed in College - RARE
The much heralded Tiger Woods hit the college campus of Stanford in the fall 1994 already with a pile of hardware on his mantel. This included both U.S.G.A wins at the Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur level. This signed Titleist Stanford logo golf ball is from that time period. It was a must that you received your signed golf ball from Tiger by the first few months of his pro career which began in 1996. Since then he has steadfastly stood by his position of not signing golf balls. This was taken to the level of not even signing them for Upper Deck while he had a longstanding autograph contract with that company. The black sharpie autograph displays as a "9" quality of signature against the white dimpled ball. Since that day his golf game and his autograph have gone through numerous small changes in form, but the basis of both still remain the same in 2018. This golf ball has every appearance of being match used by Tiger (we come to that opinion because of the small straight line placed on the ball. This was a Tiger trait at the time to aim the line on the intended line of the putt), but we can not speak to his use definitively. What we can say is that it is one of the finest early career pieces we have seen from the hand of this legend of Sport. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this Tiger Woods autograph, and their letter of authenticity will accompany this lot.
