Upper Deck Announces SP Authentic Golf PGA TOUR Licensed Trading Cards

SP Authentic Golf Delivers Hard-Signed Autograph and Memorabilia Cards Along With The First Golf Bounty Program

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 23, 2021 - - Upper Deck, the premier sports and entertainment collectibles company, announced today that the company will release SP Authentic Golf, after an increased demand for golf trading cards with the successful launch of Artifacts Golf and SP Game-Used Golf. The new release offers collectors a wide variety of autograph and memorabilia cards from the game's legendary icons and rising stars and is set to hit store shelves in Summer 2021.

SP Authentic Golf will be loaded with premium content such as hard-signed autographs and memorabilia of today's top talent and legendary names such as Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam.

'Collectors were eagerly anticipating which golf brand would be reintroduced for the third product,' said Upper Deck's Sports Brand Manager, Paul Zickler. 'We are thrilled that collectors have an opportunity to get hard-signed signatures in SP Authentic, concluding the 2021 golf lineup and the successful launch of three new PGA TOUR licensed trading card products.'

The final golf installment of the year features a 115-card base set that includes parallels with event-worn memorabilia. Collect the final Legendary PGA TOUR Course Relic set that showcases course-used sand from the famed TPC Sawgrass, an overlay program that can be found across all three golf products released this year.

For the first time in golf products, collectors will be able to earn exclusive achievement cards in the SP Authentic Bounty program by collecting the 49-card Spectrum FX Bounty set. The first 50 collectors to complete the challenge will receive a Spectrum FX card numbered 50 along with the entire 50-card Spectrum FX gold parallel set.
