Tiger Woods Signed Rare 1997 Full Center Embroidered Flag 'To Griff-Blaine McCallister's Caddy'
The legendary Tiger Woods applied his easily recognizable black sharpie signature on the cherished 1997 Masters center embroidered flag in this lot. Rarely single signed by the celebrated champion, this is one of the most prized items in golf collecting today and the 'holy grail' in the flag category. Tiger Woods' made it out to fellow PGA Tour player Blaine McCallister's caddy 'Griff.' In 1997, the Augusta National featured a new pin flag in their vast souvenir shop at the Masters. This for the first time was a heavier yellow nylon material, measuring 17 3/4 X 12 3/4 with grommets. It also featured a completely embroidered center logo of the United States. This new flag was more receptive to a good looking signature for autograph fans using "sharpie pens". An instant hit with Masters patrons, this flag sold out early in the week of the Masters and this version has never been sold again through the Augusta National. Introduced in 1997 at the Masters in his first appearance as a professional golfer at the tournament, he had appeared previously as an amateur, was Tiger Woods. As the flag took souvenir hunters by storm that week, Tiger took the world of golf that week by storm winning the Masters by 12 strokes for his first Major victory. His (-18) score set the tournament record for low four day score. In the aftermath, we all know that Tiger has gone on to four more Masters titles and acclaim as the "Most Marketable Athlete in the World." James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
