I know it's not baseball, but I need help with a possible Tiger signature

No opinion on the auto, but as far as i know this board is for all sports so no reason to apologize

glancing at the auto for a bit, it does look a bit like a rushed Tiger sig, especially his early 21st century auto.

It's correct that this section of net54 is for all sports. It's just that baseball topics are most common.

IMHO this is not Tiger Woods' autograph.
As to who it might be, I'm not sure.
I've gotten Woods to sign about 3 times and none of my 3 sigs look like this one, FWIW.

From the beginning I didn't think it was a Woods, but I can't see anyone else and small characteristics keep taking me back to Tiger.

1. The beginning of the signature have the loop
2. Dot of the i is in correct place in beginning of signature
3. Hard to tell from pic, but 2 loops for W and W loops around (only golfer I have seen doing that in research)
4. Has what looks to be the D then run off like most (cleaner) looking Tiger signatures.

So many golf pro signatures to look at...

That looks like th "short version" tiger auto... A lot of modern guys are doing shorthand versions on their auto now, which is somewhat absurd.

Terrell Owens has a "T.O 81" signature which is just awful.

But this does look like many of the TWds versions I've seen tiger sign... Though clearly less desirable than the signature he actually signs a check with.

Remember that this piece was signed in 2000 which was pretty early in Tiger's career. I got his signature twice during this era and neither sig looks like this one...

That's true, I don't know when tiger developed his new fast version, but this does look a lot like that, so if this happened as a forgery, before tiger invented the short version, then the forger should also be a fortune teller!
