Offered is Tiger Woods signature on a PGA Valhalla 2000 pin flag. The four-time PGA Championship winner has signed his name in black marker in the left center of the white vinyl pin flag, which is embroidered in navy-blue and black “PGA Valhalla 2000.” The 2000 PGA Championship was the 82nd PGA Championship, held August 17–20 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. It was the second time for the event at Valhalla, which hosted four years earlier in 1996. Tiger Woods won his second straight PGA Championship and fifth major in a three-hole playoff over Bob May. Woods and May finished at 18 under par to set the PGA Championship record to par, later equaled by Woods in 2006. It was the first time since 1937 that a PGA Championship title was successfully defended, and the first ever as a stroke play event. Woods and May were five shots ahead of third-place finisher Thomas Björn. Woods' victory marked the first time since 1953 (Ben Hogan) that a player had won three major championships in the same calendar year; Woods won the U.S. Open and the British Open in the previous two months for three consecutive majors. The 13 x 20-inch pin flag is mounted in a navy-blue paper matte against a white background and displayed in a 22 x 29½-inch black wood and glass frame. The flag is inscribed “203/500” in black marker in the lower right corner. This item comes with a STICKER ONLY from Upper Deck Authenticated (BAM27965). Please note that there is no COA from Upper Deck, just a sticker only.
