A landmark piece tied to the single most consequential debut in modern golf, this white Nike Golf cap was worn and signed by Tiger Woods at the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open, the tournament that marked his first start as a professional golfer. The cap features the embroidered Greater Milwaukee Open tournament logo on the front panel above the brim, with the Nike swoosh embroidered on the rear panel and an adjustable strap featuring the 'Nike Golf' wordmark. Woods has signed the front of the cap in bold black marker, his signature appearing directly beneath the tournament logo he wore into history. That August 1996 week in Milwaukee, played just days after Woods announced 'Hello, world' and turned professional following his record third consecutive U.S. Amateur title, is now recognized as the true beginning of an era that would transform golf's popularity and commercial landscape forever. This cap is remarkable not only for its direct connection to that historic debut but also for its original owner provenance, meaning it has a documented, traceable chain of custody back to the person present at the event. Accompanied by a full JSA Letter of Authenticity, this is an extraordinary, museum-quality piece for any golf historian or Tiger Woods collector, representing the literal starting point of his professional career.
