Nike to auction Tiger US Masters "Ignite" golf caps on eBay
IN: News | US PGA | US Masters (2004) | General | 01 Apr 2004
Nike Golf and Tiger Woods will give golf fans around the world the opportunity to own a piece of sports history in two weeks when unique replicas of Woods' four "Ignite" hats - only to be worn at the 2004 Masters Championship - are autographed and auctioned at eBay.
For the first and only time, Woods' hats will bear the popular "Ignite" logo, representative of Nike Golf's new-generation driver, the Ignite. Woods and more than 20 other Tour professionals play Nike Golf's new Ignite driver.
Woods' hats have never displayed the Ignite mark, nor will they again, just four historic days in April. An exact replica of the hat that Woods wears each day during the 2004 US Masters (April 8-11) will be signed by the three-time Masters champion and posted for auction the next day.
Woods will keep the four Ignite hats he wears during the season's first Major, and only the four autographed replicas being auctioned will be made available to the public. There will be no other replicas of Woods' Ignite hat from the 2004 Masters Championship in existence.
The first hat, representative of the hat Woods wears during the first round, will be up for auction beginning Friday, April 9. The next three hats will be put up for auction on April 10th, 11th and 12th, respectively. All four individual auctions will conclude on Monday, April 19.
Nike Golf will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the auction to the Tiger Woods Foundation. For details about eBay's auction procedures and requirements, please visit www.eBay.com.
