“Upper Deck’s first golf release since 2014 will be jam-packed with top talent, including 15-time major championship winner Tiger Woods, fellow World Golf Hall of Fame members Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman and Annika Sorenstam.

The first of three planned golf card releases for 2021, Artifacts Golf will feature a 90-card base set, including a 40-card serial numbered rookie set. Collectors will enjoy multiple memorabilia inserts, which include rare autographs, along with the popular Diamond Relic inserts that have up to four diamonds* embedded per card.

Additionally, Artifacts Golf will feature the first nine Course of a Champion Tiger Woods autograph cards, with the remaining nine cards releasing in SP Game Used Golf launching this Summer.”
