Here it is, a 1997 Masters Tournament Souvenir Package that includes the holy grail of tournament-sold golf flags, an ultra rare, unsigned 1997 Masters Embroidered Flag.

This very flag started the golf flag craze in the late 90s and early 2000s. This fully embroidered flag was only sold at the 1997 Masters Tournament. The flag sold out very quickly in the merchandise tent in 1997. Then, after Tiger Woods' historic first Major Championship victory, it seemed that every golf collector had to have this flag. Before this flag and that tournament, there wasn't a re-sale market for souvenir golf flags. With this flag leading the way, that soon changed. The 1997 Masters flag was the first unsigned souvenir flag to ever sell for over $100; the first to sell for over $1,000; and the first to ever sell for over $4,000. With virtually all of the 1997 Masters flags now signed by Tiger, this is a rare chance to obtain an unsigned flag.

Along with the 1997 Masters Flag, this packed 1997 Masters lot also includes a Journal, Tuesday Ticket, Spectator Guide and Commemorative Pin.
