Carlsbad-based Upper Deck unveils authentic Tiger Woods memorabilia

We all have that one golfer on our holiday gift list who is notoriously difficult to shop for. They already have all the latest and greatest equipment and apparel, and a gift card to their favorite course or golf retailer just seems so impersonal.

That’s why surprising that special someone with a truly unique gift featuring the greatest golfer of his generation is a terrific alternative.

The Tiger Woods Collection from Upper Deck Authenticated Memorabilia includes pieces that you won’t find anywhere else, and thanks to Tiger’s decades-long relationship with the Carlsbad-based company, every item is put through a rigorous authentication process to ensure you’re getting the real deal.

Upper Deck Authenticated’s collection of Tiger Woods memorabilia features everything from signed pin flags from his first U.S. Open win in 2000 ($1,399.99) and other major championship victories to a signed and inscribed tournament-worn TW Vapor Mock polo from round three of the 2019 Masters ($49,999.99).

For those looking to upgrade their home office and impress colleagues and clients on video calls, there are plenty of large-format autographed photos from the biggest moments in his Tiger’s career, some limited to a production run of as few as 80 pieces.

“It has really been fun for us to see the demand for Tiger pieces peak again,” Upper Deck President Jason Masherah said in a recent interview with GolfNewsNet.com. “I think the 2018 Tour Championship victory and of course last year’s Masters win reinvigorated collectors. Tiger wants to make sure his fans get authentic signatures, and he also approves all the pieces and has an extreme attention to detail with the items he signs, just like he does on the course.”

A portion of proceeds from all sales of Upper Deck’s Tiger memorabilia go to his Irvine-based TGR Foundation, which helps students pursue their passions through education and has impacted more than a million students and educators in Orange County and around the world.
