Tiger Woods c.1992 Signed San Antonio Country Club Logo Golf Ball
The 16 years old sophomore at Western High School, Tiger Woods, was starting to separate himself from his classmates even in 1992. Making his LA Open professional golfing debut February 28, four months later it would be back to American Junior Golf Association play - this time at San Antonio Country Club. A distinguishably undistinguishable early signature predating his "rookie" signature by four years was added to this San Antonio CC logo golf ball. The penmanship formation time stamp works out to it being signed the week of July 2nd, 1992 during his age 15-18 division win at the ProGear San Antonio Shootout (now Valero Junior Texas Open). Woods' second consecutive American Junior Golf Association title would come by way of a 2-under final round and 6-under three round total. Not crude, but unpracticed would be how we would describe the now highly desirable penmanship of the golf phenom Tiger Woods 31 years ago. His signature changed almost yearly during the beginning of his golf career, with a collecting trend of dating the signature working in favor of this matching green sharpie signature that has lightened over the years. It has been well documented just how difficult it is to add a Tiger Woods signed golf ball to your collection, with his infrequent signing habits completely cutting out golf balls in 1996. With this dating to 1992, this ball is among the earliest examples that you will ever see. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their FULL letter of authenticity #YY26601 comes with this lot.
