Rare 1992 Tiger Woods Signature

       Presented here is the earliest Tiger Woods signature that we've ever offered, and one of the earliest signatures we've ever seen. A lucky spectator or player at the 1992 U.S. Junior Amateur obtained a few signatures on a hat from the tournament. Little did he or she know that one of those players would grow up and become one of the greatest golfers of all time. Tiger won that 1992 U.S. Junior Amateur. The hat is worn and slightly discolored, but the autograph remains bold and easily recognizable. This signature of 16 year-old Tiger Woods was obtained an amazing 2 years before Tiger Woods ever won the U.S. Amateur and 4 years before he ever turned professional. This 1992 signature of Tiger Woods is akin to getting Michael Jordan's signature in high school or the Beatles when they were still playing for tips in Liverpool pubs. The signature is gorgeous and the significance of this piece cannot be overstated.

        This signature has been authenticated by James Spence at JSA, one of the leading authenticators in the world.
