Tiger Woods Signed 1996 Masters 'Famous Tiger-Jack-Arnie' Wednesday Practice Round Ticket
Golf's King and Golden Bear took returning US Amateur 20-year old champion Tiger Woods around for 18 holes during the 1996 Masters Tournament's Wednesday practice round - and another 9 on the Par 3 course as if he was too good to be true. The day was captured in this single moment and turned into one of the most recognizable tee box photos in modern golf history. It was a passing of the torch from then winningest Masters champions Jack Nicklaus (6) and Arnold Palmer (4) to Tiger Woods at Augusta National. Tickets capture moments, and this ticket's consignor went a step further capturing Tiger Woods' signature that day on this important one. Nicklaus and Palmer were impressed with what they saw from the amateur prodigy from Stanford on April 10, 1996. “This kid is the most fundamentally sound golfer I’ve ever seen at any age. I don’t know if he’s ready to win yet or not, but he will be the favorite here for the next 20 years. If he isn’t, there’s something wrong,” Jack Nicklaus said. After proverbially having their hat blown off while test-driving the newest souped-up convertible, the legends got it right. There were 40 eventual major championships and 15 green jackets in that famous group in Augusta, this the only ducat from that day we have seen with the time-period blue sharpie formation of the young cat. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their full letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
