Tiger Woods, Caddy Fluff, & Coach Harmon Signed 1997 Masters Tuesday Ticket
Fist pumps were flying around the office when this recent find arrived; a top-class example out of the signed ticket category - carrying the lowest of numbers in #B0001. Time-period black marker from the 1997 Masters champion Tiger Woods along with his celebrity co-stars close by, as they were during the historic win 25 years ago. Perhaps somewhat of a motley crew to the untrained eye, Tiger, Fluff and Butch, were in all actuality, a championship caliber dream team together on the hallowed grounds of Augusta National for the first time. Each the best at what they did and all centered around a confident twenty-one-year-old teeing it up at his third Masters Tournament in 1997 - first as a professional. Issuant of the very first and lowest possible number ticket #B0001 caught up to each of the three during Tiger Woods' Tuesday practice round on April 8, 1997, likely with an inside track to Team Tiger. With their ticket in hand, the patron scored black sharpie signatures from each 3/3 only days prior to one of the most significant golf tournaments of the latter 20th century. The outcome, no one saw coming. With the only exceptions of that possibly being the optimistic three gentlemen represented by perfectly stacked signatures adorning the front of this ticket - two veterans and a phenom. Tiger's jolting 18 under four round total was a dozen shots better than Tom Kite in second place and Tiger Mania was officially in full effect. Significance of this one-of-a-kind time-period signed green paper ducat from the opening chapter of Tiger Woods' first Masters win cannot be overstated, Tiger's 10/10 robust black sharpie signature center cut with Mike "Fluff" Cowen's signature above and 1948 Masters Champion Claude Harmon's son and swing-coach Butch Harmon below on the front side. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their full letter of authenticity #XX78834 comes with this lot.
