2001 Upper Deck Golf Tiger Woods #1 (PSA 10)
Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods (December 30, 1975-) was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by his Western High School graduating class in 1994 and went on to become the most recognizable athlete on the face of the Earth by the time he turned 21. Woods made his first national appearance on television at the age of 3 in 1978 when he famously putted against legendary comedian Bob Hope on The Mike Douglas Show. A precursor of what was to come! Tiger tore through the amateur ranks winning the U.S. Junior Amateur Championships three times (the event’s only three time winner), won the U.S. Amateur Championship three times and won the 1996 NCAA Championship with Stanford University. Woods turned pro in August of 1996, finished in the Top Ten five times in 13 tournaments and won the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational shooting -27 and defeating Davis Love III in a playoff.
