2006 The OPEN at Royal Liverpool 9th Hole Tournament Flown Flag - Tiger Woods Win
“To win my first tournament after my dad passed away, and for it to be a major championship, it makes it that much more special.” In a career filled with special moments for Tiger Woods, this one (2006 Open Championship) resonated," Golf.com remarked in an article looking back at Tiger Woods' greatest on-course memories in 2015.
Golf flag category collectors are routinely left pining for Tiger Woods' tournament flown major championship flags, with those held onto tightly by their few recipients such as course super intendants, tournament dignitaries and caddy Stevie Williams. Here is the two-sided Hole 9 flag flown at Liverpool Golf Club during that emotional week for the generational golfer. The bright red '9' is on both sides, with the numerical figure on the verso showing just a small tic of usage at the top. Additionally there are welcomed signs of usage on the yellow pin flag towards the left-hand sleeve the tube was inserted in. Tiger Woods parred the final hole of the frontside that final round, 9, prior to making the turn with a birdie on 10 to go up three on the field. Presented in this lot is a tournament flown flag from the 9th hole at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
It was a successful title defense for Woods' and third time crowned Champion Golfer of the Year. He held off Chris DiMarco, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, and Sergio Garcia for a two-shot victory.
