Tiger Woods 2009 US Open at Bethpage Black Contestant Production Sample Plaque
Tiger Woods would not repeat in 2009, but finish top-10 (t-6th) at the hallowed Bethpage Black Course. The USGA tried out multiple contestant gifts in preparation for the showdown at the Farmingdale, NY state park course, and this plaque was produced with the top member of the field on the nameplate. Eventually not used for the field of 156 players, possibly due to its weighty nature, there is a very real possibility this is either one-of-one or just a few. Vibrant color from the 'caddy boy' logo of the Bethpage Black course that has its own 'Warning' sign, this is a heavy 15" x 12" plaque was a production sample which is repurposed into an interesting story, that containing the gentleman that entered as both the defending US Open champion and the Tillinghast designed venue's defending major champion - victor seven years prior.
