Overview
An official embroidered MasterCard Colonial PGA Tour tournament flag, boldly hand-signed in black marker by World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Phil Mickelson. The flag features the iconic Colonial clubhouse logo alongside the MasterCard sponsor emblem and the official PGA Tour logo patch.
Story
Phil Mickelson conquered Fort Worth's legendary 'Horrible Horseshoe' to win the Colonial in both 2000 and 2008. This signed flag captures the peak era of his historic rivalry with Tiger Woods.
Maker / Origin
The Colonial National Invitation, established in 1946, is one of the most prestigious stops on the PGA Tour, famously associated with golf legend Ben Hogan. Phil Mickelson, known affectionately as 'Lefty,' is a six-time major champion and one of the most popular and charismatic figures in modern golf history.
Condition & Value
The flag appears to be in very good condition with bright coloration and no major staining. There is minor creasing from storage, which is typical for nylon flags and does not negatively impact the value. The signature is bold and unfaded.
