“That's Tiger's biggest strength... he can play in Jack's style, waiting for his chances, and he can play in my style, attacking all the time. That's some combination!” - Arnold Palmer
“Years ago somebody told me that when Tiger was a kid, he taped a list of my golf accomplishments on his closet. Well, if he's making a check-mark every time he matches me in something, he must have his pencil out pretty darn often” - Jack Nicklaus
“He is something supernatural” - Tom Watson
Once upon a time, in a suburb called Cypress in Orange County , California , there lived a man called Earl and his wife, Kultida. On the 30th of December 1975, they were blessed with a son, who they named Eldrick. Earl immediately gave him a nickname – a nickname he'd also given a friend he'd made during the Vietnam War. The world would soon know this name... one that would become synonymous with golfing immortality...
Driving Force
This magnificent lithograph blends a spectacular selection of imagery of the world's most famous – and most photogenic – golfer. Highlighting the many facets of the man and his game... the power, the passion, the concentration, the determination, and the sheer unadulterated enjoyment that he derives from his sport... this is destined to become one of our ‘blue ribbon' collectables.
Just 250 lithographs exist in this landmark edition. In a ‘first' for our collectors, in addition to our PricewaterhouseCoopers authentication and certification, Driving Force is also protected by Upper Deck's patented ‘5-step authentication process'. This combination is surely the ultimate in product guarantee.
TIGER Memorabilia
In terms of sports memorabilia, there are but a handful of names that almost guarantee instant collectability. On the Australian landscape, both Bradman and Waugh fulfill the criteria – on the world stage it's Ali and Woods. The global leader in the sports collectables industry – Upper Deck – recognised some years ago the value of the phenomenon that is Tiger Woods, and signed him on a long-term exclusive representation deal. This gave them the ability to create an authenticated range of memorabilia that would go some way to satisfying the public's seemingly unquenchable thirst for Tiger collectables – a thirst that had resulted in Tiger's signature becoming the most counterfeited one in the history of the sports memorabilia business.
Having access to only a limited number of signatures each year, Upper Deck's Tiger Woods memorabilia has been subject to the inevitability of market forces:
The sheer weight of demand in the US has also resulted in a mere trickle of this genuine product reaching our shores. All rather frustrating for his legion of fans here in Australia !
It's with enormous excitement that we now present to you the first in what we hope will become a sensational new (and select) range of Tiger memorabilia – produced exclusively for the Australian collectors.
