DESCRIPTION:Nom du lots : Tiger Woods Signed Type I Original Photograph | P
 SA/DNA Authentic | Circa 1992\n\nKodak Photograph Paper\, Plastic\n\n3-½
 ” x 5-⅛”\n\nAs described by consigner:\n\nEarl Woods sent this photo
  of Tiger Woods to Jesse Randolph (Author\, A Letter to the Youth of Ameri
 ca)\,\n\nPurchased by our consigner from Jesse Randolph’s daughter\n\nIt
  is befitting of the legend that Tiger Woods became that by 1992\, the yea
 r of this Type I photograph signed by this extraordinary athlete\, he was 
 already a seasoned veteran of the game that he would come to dominate. Ear
 ly in that year\, Tiger made his PGA Tour debut at the 1992 Nissan L.A. Op
 en at the Riviera Country Club in the midst of a historic run at both the 
 junior and standard amateur level.\n\nTiger’s aptitude for the game was 
 clear from an incredibly young age. According to his father and longtime c
 oach\, Earl\, Tiger first picked up a club at the age of 11 months after w
 atching his father workout in the family’s garage on an indoor driving n
 et\, taking a putter that was given to him as a toy at six months of age a
 nd lining up a putt at the net his father was hitting at. Tiger putted the
  ball and it struck the net in the center. Though Earl and his mother Kult
 ida could not possibly have known it\, those garage sessions would help pr
 oduce perhaps the greatest golfer the world has ever known.\n\nTiger began
  appearing on television for golf long before he donned his famous red Sun
 day polo. CBS News conducted a profile on toddlers playing golf that inclu
 ded Tiger before he turned three years old. Daytime TV host Mike Douglas s
 aw the story and decided to invite the young Tiger on for a segment alongs
 ide Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart\, and while those legends of American enter
 tainment looked on\, Tiger hit a shot with a driver with what Golf writer 
 Michael Bamberger described as a “natural rhythm” before engaging in a
  putting contest with Hope.\n\nTiger’s parents did not have to wait too 
 long to see that their son was a special talent. Woods’ golfing accompli
 shments quickly illustrated that Tiger was a golfing prodigy and took on a
 n air of the mythical. By age three\, Woods shot a 48 over nine holes at t
 he Navy’s Los Alamitos golf course. At age five\, an appearance in Golf 
 Digest as well as on ABC’s That’s Incredible! Before he celebrated his
  seventh birthday\, he won the Under Age 10 section of the Drive\, Pitch\,
  and Putt competition held on the same Navy golf course he played on at th
 ree years old. By age eight\, he won the 9-10 boys’ event at the Junior 
 World Golf Championships\, broke 80 for the first time on a regulation cou
 rse\, and even knocked in his first hole in one. The following year he rep
 eated as Junior World Golf Champion in the 9-10 boys’ event. That was on
 ly the beginning.\n\nTiger defeated his father\, who was trying his best\,
  for the first time at age 11. Earl would never beat Tiger again. By 12\, 
 he shot under 70 on a regulation course for the first time and began one o
 f the most dominant runs in amateur history.\n\nFrom 1988 to 1991\, the yo
 ung marvel won four straight Junior World Golf Championships in his respec
 tive age category\, while coming in second place at the 1990 Junior PGA Ch
 ampionship. In 1991\, he became the youngest player to ever win the U.S. J
 unior Amateur\, touching off a historic run that saw him become the first 
 player to win three straight. Only one other player\, Jordan Spieth\, has 
 matched that feat.\n\n1992 saw Tiger profiled on CBS’ Sunday Morning. Th
 e profile began with a startling statement: Not a single player at that ye
 ar’s Masters Tournament was Black. The ascendance of their profile’s y
 oung subject stood in stark contrast to a long history of discrimination i
 n golf in the United States and around the world (the first Black competit
 or at The Masters only competed in 1975\, and the first Black member had n
 ot been admitted to the host Augusta Club until 1990). His groundbreaking 
 brilliance would help to continue the forging of the path toward equality 
 in golf and would form yet another dimension of his impressive sporting le
 gacy. That same year\, Tiger made his first PGA tour appearance and posed 
 for this photograph. Offered is a testament to a lifetime of work already 
 done and a historic legend on the horizon signed by the legend himself. Ca
 ptured here is a budding superstar in a moment where he is both displaying
  and further honing the skill that would make him a household name around 
 the world. An elite athlete in the heart of his potential and set to unlea
 sh a prime that would change his sport known to the world by a single name
 : Tiger.\n\nTiger would go on to fulfill every ounce of his potential. Aft
 er his history U.S. Junior Amateur three-peat\, Tiger proceeded to put tog
 ether the only three-peat to date at the U.S. Amateur and was offered a go
 lf scholarship to Stanford. Attending between 1994-1996\, Tiger made his d
 ebut at The Masters in 1995 and won the 1996 NCAA Division 1 Championship 
 before finally turning pro in August 1996. His would become one of the gre
 atest professional careers golf has ever seen.\n\nTiger has won 82 PGA Tou
 r events and 15 majors over his career. His first was fittingly the event 
 that just five years before CBS had confirmed had no Black competitors. Ti
 ger won the 1997 Masters in dominant fashion\, winning by a record 12 stro
 kes. He became the tournament’s youngest winner at age 21 years and 104 
 days\, and made history as the first non-white winner of The Masters. He s
 aw Larry Elder\, the first Black player to ever compete at the Masters\, a
 s he went to fetch his green jacket and embraced the trailblazer before ho
 noring him and other pioneers like Charlie Sifford and Teddy Rhodes\, sayi
 ng “those are the ones who paved the way for me to be here. And I thank 
 them\, because if it wasn’t for them\, I might not have had the chance t
 o play at all.” Tiger had delivered the next step in golfing history.\n\
 nTiger has gone on to win four more Masters\, including the 2001 tournamen
 t\, which gave him all four major championships at once. He has been named
  PGA Player of the Year a record 11 times\, won the Byron Nelson Award a r
 ecord eight times\, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2
 021. His last major win was the 2019 Masters\, a full 11 years after his l
 ast major win\, and is yet to officially retire\, meaning we may still hav
 e more greatness to witness on the golf course. One thing is for sure: Tig
 er will go down in history as one of the greatest golfers to ever live.\n\
