In 1997, Tiger Woods won the Masters, his first major, at 21—the youngest player ever to do so. Woods finished minus 18. Tom Kite finished second at six under par—a remarkable 12-stroke gap. Veterans Tom Watson, Fred Couples, and Ernie Els finished even further behind. Two months later, he became the top-ranked golfer in the world—a stunning commentary on how quickly Woods rose through the ranks of the world’s best players.
In 2001, it could be argued that he single-handedly put modern golf cards on the map. The headliner on the debut 2001 Upper Deck Golf checklist, Woods was featured throughout the checklist including some highly coveted rookie autographs. Among them was the incredibly tough Player's Ink. Woods was among the 24 signers for the stunning insert set with cards landing 1:3,000 hobby packs.
This Gem Mint PSA 10 comes with a bold blue autograph and remains one of the top Tiger Woods cards ever produced.
