1993 The Honda Classic at Weston Hills CC Caddie Badge - Tiger Woods 3rd PGA Start & 1st Par Rd
Tiger Woods carded his first par or better round in a PGA Tour event in the first round of his third tournament, and first in Florida/anywhere other than Los Angeles, California at the 1993 Honda Classic. It would be two years later that the occasion would happen again, prior to what seemed like an entire career of rounds under or matching par. It would be the 'storm of the century' or at least it felt like it then according to caddy and consignor Tim Boardman. "High winds blew Tiger off the course on Friday, recording an 83," Mike Smith's (t-6) looper said about that day. This example of the badge representing a Tiger Woods first in the High Schooler's third PGA start was used by Boardman that week. Tim Boardman would go on to caddy for Tiger Woods in the 1997 Buick Classic four years later, subbing in for Fluff who was at 'Squeeky's' funeral. We worked closely with Tim Boardman. Sadly Tim passed away on January 21st. A letter of provenance for this item will come from The Golf Auction.
