Upper Deck tees up new golf trading cards featuring Tiger Woods, rising stars
For the first time in 20 years, Upper Deck has launched Upper Deck Golf, a trading card series featuring some of professional golf’s top stars.
Upper Deck Golf features a wide range familiar names, from current and rising stars like Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Brooke Henderson and Collin Morikawa to iconic legends like Tiger Woods.
The release is the first of four Upper Deck golf sets, along with SP Game-Used Golf, Upper Deck Portfolio Golf, and Fleer Ultra Golf.
Inspired by its popular Upper Deck Hockey Series One set, Upper Deck Golf will feature the highly sought-after Young Guns chase cards, which feature many of golf’s top rising stars.
Also mirroring Upper Deck’s flagship hockey series, the set also includes a wide selection of inserts and parallels, including Dazzlers, Honor Roll, UD Canvas and UD Gallery. Longtime golf card collectors also will recognize the UD Retro set, which features a design inspired by a classic 1999 Upper Deck set.
Portfolio Golf, a new product from Upper Deck, will feature a variety of insert sets from brands including Allure, Artifacts, Black Diamond, Exquisite Collection, SP Authentic, SPx and Ultimate Collection, all featuring high-end memorabilia and autograph cards.
“There’s always been overwhelming fanfare around our golf collectible releases, so we are excited to deliver trading cards that capture moments from some of the best golfers in the world,” said Paul Zickler, director of sports brands at Upper Deck. “These collections help fans step onto the course with their favorite athletes and immortalize golf’s iconic moments.”
