Tiger Woods turned pro with his iconic "Hello World" announcement in late August, 1996. Many seasoned Tour pros were waiting for the budding star to get a reality check about the difficulty of making the jump to the PGA Tour. Tiger quickly proved his once in a lifetime talent by winning not once, but twice before the end of the season. Both of these wins came in October 1996 - his 1st victory at the Las Vegas Invitational and his 2nd victory at the Disney Classic.

Offered here is a rare badge from the 1996 Walt Disney World-Oldsmobile Golf Classic that contains a circa 1996 signature of the tournament's champion Tiger Woods. We can only presume that this autograph was obtained at or around the time of the event. 

Ticket collecting has exploded in popularity over the past couple years. Among the hardest to find golf tickets are those from Tiger's early career, as so few people saved their tickets in the 1990s. The entire PSA population of tickets from Tiger's 1996 Disney Classic is only 12. There are 10 known tickets and 2 badges in the entire known population. 

Of those 12 known tickets/badges to Tiger's 2nd victory, how many of them are autographed by Tiger?

Only 1. This one. 

Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA. PSA Authentic with a PSA 7 Auto grade.
