Tiger Woods Signed 1997 Masters Tournament Journal UDA #SHO048633
There's no doubting that the 5 year $15 million Upper Deck-Tiger Woods partnership in 2000 changed the landscape of golf collecting forever. Apart from their limited edition releases, Upper Deck Authenticated actually accepted customer mail-ins for a short time period of time also subject to their ironclad 5-step authentication process. A flawless, silver marker Tiger Woods signature was applied across the center of this 1997 Masters Journal (program). How tough are these? This is just the fourth example that we have auctioned off and first with the coveted UDA hologram.
The 21-year-old phenom Tiger Woods won his first of 15 Majors at the 1997 Masters Tournament, beating Tom Kite by 12 strokes! Tiger mania was in full effect and collectors have not let up with 1997 Masters related items since. A new generation of viewers were able to witness and contribute to many of those roars during the special weekend in April 2019. 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 2005. The signature itself remains as strong as the day it was signed, with very slight cover blemishing seen from the right angle depicted in the accompanying lot photos. Tight binding and slight edge/corner wear mentioned only for accuracy purposes only. Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) has witnessed this signature and their certificate of authenticity #SHO048633 comes with this lot.
