Tiger Woods Signed 1996 US Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge Flag with Personalization
Many of the most advanced Tiger Woods collectors just did a double take when they arrived at this lot. Prior to the official beginning of 'Tiger Mania', and the flag collecting industry trend, Tiger Woods signed this 1996 US Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge flag to one of the fans in the gallery that week that witness a 20-year old phenom and his early fist pump. Tiger Woods capped his record setting amateur career with his third straight United States Amateur Championship when he claimed the victory in 1996 at Pumpkin Ridge. Programs and tickets from the US Amateur with far less crowds attending this Championship are printed in far shorter print runs in comparison to major tournaments, with flags that were for purchase in the gift shop obtained at a much lower quantity. One year later Woods would win his first major at Augusta National and quickly become an international sensation. This is the first opportunity for The Golf Auction to offer this flag from Pumpkin Ridge, with a time-period black sharpie signature of its legendary champion elevating this piece to an even higher level. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their FULL letter of authenticity #B94204 comes with this lot
