Tiger Woods makes announcement ahead of Masters: 'Looking forward to the future together...'

Upper Deck, the worldwide leader in sports and entertainment collectibles, has today announced an extension of its exclusive agreement with golf legend Tiger Woods. 

PGA Tour superstar Woods, 49, is one of the longest-standing spokespeople at Upper Deck. 

The new deal will allow Upper Deck to continue to be the sole licensed producer of Woods’ trading cards, collectibles, and autographed memorabilia, extending the relationship beyond 25 years. 

“We've been fortunate to work alongside Tiger for nearly his entire professional career, helping create connections with fans and celebrate moments throughout his historic journey with our collectibles,” said Jason Masherah, president of Upper Deck. 

“Tiger Woods fans across the globe have collected the authentic and innovative products we've created together. We look forward to continuing our relationship and building products dedicated to Tiger’s historic legacy.”

Woods is one of the most decorated and dominant golfers of all time with 15 career major wins and a joint-record 82 PGA Tour titles. 

The former World No.1 remains a key member of Upper Deck’s Spokespeople, which also includes fellow sporting legends Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Kerri Walsh Jennings. 

From the beginning, Upper Deck’s commitment to authenticity was something that set them apart for Woods, and that still remains a principle factor in the decision to continue the relationship into the future. 

During their 25 years together, Upper Deck and Woods have grown the golf category with a multitude of products from his legendary PGA Tour career, along with countless sought-after trading cards.

Upper Deck has captured every moment of Woods' career, from launching his first-ever licensed trading card in the 2001 Upper Deck Golf set to autographed memorabilia of his equipment worn and/or used on the course. 

In addition to authentic signed shoes, polos, and hats, Upper Deck Authenticated has produced unique golf memorabilia, such as the innovative Breaking Throughs, inspired Tegatas and multi-signed pieces featuring other top tier athletes. 

“I’ve been proud to be a partner of Upper Deck for so many years and looking forward to the future together,” said Woods.

Collectors can find Woods’ trading cards and memorabilia at Upper Deck’s Certified Diamond Dealer hobby shops and online. 

Woods will not be able to compete in next week's Masters Tournament at famed Augusta National.

The golf legend confirmed last month he had undergone surgery after a ruptured achilles.

Woods is now likely to be out of competitive action on the PGA Tour until 2026.
