2004 Upper Deck Golf returns to the fairways, sand traps and greens around the
country with a 132-card set featuring all of last year's best moments and a
national sweepstakes whereby golf enthusiasts can win an invitation to a clinic
hosted by Tiger Woods. For the third consecutive year, Upper Deck will pair up
with Tiger Woods to bring golf fans and collectors together for a unique
once-in-a-lifetime experience. This year, 10 collectors who find the Tiger
Woods Golden Ball Marker card will be given an opportunity to learn and enhance
their golf skills from the number one ranked male golfer in the world -- Tiger
Woods.
No need to fret if you don't find the Tiger Golden Ball Marker card -- consumers
successfully discovering the secret Tiger Silver Ball Marker bounty card can
redeem it for $1,000. There are 20 total Tiger Silver Ball Marker bounty cards.
"Golf enthusiasts are always clamoring for ways to get closer to the action on
the greens," said Bruce Schragin, director of marketing at Upper Deck. "The

commitment to introduce the game of golf and sports card collecting in fun and
interactive ways to fans."
Schragin added, "We continue to show a category leadership position in our
industry by creating and producing the best collecting experience available and
for partnering with the top players in all major sports such as Annika, Tiger,
Ichiro and LeBron to represent our brands."
