Tiger Woods to remain "exclusive spokesperson" of a popular trading card and collectibles company

Popular trading card and collectibles company, Upper Deck, announced on Thursday that they have extended their partnership with Tiger Woods. The "greatest golfer of all-time" will continue to be the company's "exclusive spokesperson".

Upper Deck sold a line of special collectibles and signed memorablia from Woods. With the extension of the partnership, these items will continue being a part of the Upper Deck Exclusives collection. The company announced the news on X.

Woods had initially signed with Upper Deck all the way back in 2000 for $15M. At the time, the ace golfer had won four Major Championships consecutively, a period that went on to be historically known as the 'Tiger Slam'.

The terms of the renewed association have been kept under wraps as of now.
