2006 Tiger Woods Masters Tournament-Worn & Autographed Signature Sunday Red Polo Shirt

Tiger Woods’ Iconic 2006 Masters “Sunday Red” Polo Shirt

A Moment in Golf History

In the annals of golf history, few moments resonate as deeply as Tiger Woods’ pursuit of his fifth green jacket at the 2006 Masters. After securing his fourth title at Augusta in 2005, Woods entered the final day of the 2006 tournament tied for fourth place, just two shots behind leader Phil Mickelson. The anticipation of a showdown between these two titans of golf was palpable. However, the emotional weight of the tournament was intensified for Woods, as his father and mentor, Earl Woods, was gravely ill at home. Despite his valiant efforts, Woods finished third, and his father passed away three weeks later. This poignant chapter in Woods’ career is immortalized in the “Sunday Red” polo shirt he wore on April 9, 2006, during the final day of the Masters.

The Significance of the “Sunday Red” Polo

This iconic polo shirt, adorned with the white Nike “swoosh” on the left chest and the “TW” emblem on the rear collar, is a testament to Woods’ legacy. The left sleeve features a metallic strip with the “TW” symbol, and inside the collar is a “Tiger Woods” label with a size “M” flag tag. Tiger Woods has signed the front of the shirt in black marker, with the signature rating a near-perfect 10. Below the signature is “1/1” and the UDA hologram numbered “BAK 08962”. The shirt is properly tagged, was presented to us as tournament worn, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. Accompanied by a COA from UDA, this shirt is further authenticated by a LOA from JSA and backed by a LOA from PSA/DNA.
