Early Tiger Woods autographs pre-dating his monumental 1997 Mastersvictory are hard to come by in the hobby.
Woods made his official PGA Tour debut as a professional on August 291996 at the Greater Milwaukee Open. He had already played in theMasters and The Open Championship as an amateur while competing forStanford but this was the first tournament he could actually receive apaycheck. He shot under par both Thursday and Friday to sit in 8th placeentering the weekend but ended up in 60th place. Seven months later hewould begin his unprecedented run with 14 majors in 11 years dominatingthe golf world unlike any player has before or since.
This white Nike "Greater Milwaukee Open" hat with the tournament's logo on the front is signed by Tiger in the brim in lovely 9/10 black marker. According to our consignor whose sports operations business worked on-sitefor numerous PGA events for over 20 years the autographed cap was procured by a PGAcaddie at the 1996 tournament with whom the consignor became good friends. The caddie wishes to remain anonymous toprotect his reputation as he is still actively working in the golf industry.
Includes detailed letter of provenance from consignor. COA from JSA (B75125) for autograph.
