Tiger Woods has already
established that he is the greatest golfer of his generation. But now,
Tiger has his sights on the accomplishment he has desired all along - to be
known as the greatest of all-time. A young Eldrick "Tiger" Woods
reportedly has a list of Jack Nicklaus' 18 Major Championship victories
taped next to his bed when he was young. The fact that Tiger and his
father Earl planned on Tiger surpassing Nicklaus' mark seemed audacious -
no, preposterous - at the time. But now it has become a reality.
Tiger Woods has already accumulated 13 Major Championships - 5 behind Jack -
and the end is nowhere in sight.
Autographed flags from Tiger's Major Championships are arguably the most
sought-after golf collectible of the last 10 years - and their popularity
has been steadily increasing the entire time. Green Jacket Auction is
proud to present, in separate auction lots, autographed flags from ALL
THIRTEEN of Tiger's Major Championship victories. These flags and
autographs have been slowly assembled over the last decade, and are now
available in one auction for the first time ever. What makes these
autographs even more spectacular is that they come from Upper Deck, who has
the exclusive autograph deal with Tiger Woods. Some of these flags
have never even been offered for sale publicly by Upper Deck, but were
obtained in a private signing with Tiger Woods and Upper Deck by our
consignor.
The 1999 PGA Championship quickly became an instant classic when a young
Tiger Woods narrowly defeated an even younger Sergio Garcia. Presented
here is a replica screen printed 1999 PGA Championship flag that has been
boldly signed by Tiger Woods. Upper Deck has never released
Tiger-signed 1999 PGA Championship flags; Tiger signed this flag for our
consignor at a private signing with Upper Deck. The 1999 PGA
Championship flag is the one most often missing from collections.
Since the authentic, tournament-sold 1999 PGA Championship flag is now worth
a few thousand dollars unsigned, this is a great chance to obtain an
authentic Tiger signature on a replica 1999 PGA Championship flag at a more
reasonable cost.
[Bidding Note: This lot is for
only the Tiger signed 1999 PGA Championship flag. Please see the
other lots in this auction for the additional autographed Tiger flags.]
