Of all golfers of the past few decades, one signed golf ball is unquestionably the most difficult to obtain - a signed ball of Tiger Woods. Obviously all Tiger Woods autographs are difficult to obtain, but signed golf balls are the most difficult, and most coveted, of all items. Tiger simply refuses to sign them. Fake Tiger Woods signed golf balls are frequently offered for sale, and we've been forced to turn down many dozens of balls in the past that we couldn't authenticate. But presented here is an excellent authentic signed golf ball from Tiger's amateur days. 

This logo golf ball from Pasatiempo Golf Course in California contains an early Tiger Woods autograph that dates to Tiger's college days. Though we do not know exactly when Tiger Woods autographed this golf ball, the style of the autograph seems to indicate 1996. That 1996 date also aligns with when Tiger played a college tournament at Pasatiempo, and also posed for a series of swing photographs at the famed golf course.
