April 8 marks the first round of the 2010 Masters Golf Tournament. It also signifies the return of Tiger Woods to competitive play following a 144-day hiatus. To coincide with Tiger’s quest for a fifth green jacket from Augusta, Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) – the memorabilia division of the Upper Deck Company – is proud to unveil new autographed items from Tiger, many of which commemorate this week’s arrival of the four-time Masters champion.
