CARLSBAD, Ca. (May 12, 2021) - Upper Deck, the premier sports and entertainment collectibles company, announced today the long-awaited launch of its first golf card set in more than seven years. Artifacts® Golf is a premium trading card set that offers collectors a wide array of autograph and memorabilia cards from the game’s icons and rising stars. The new release is the latest addition to the company’s ever-growing golf portfolio of signed pin flags, images, hats, shoes and other memorabilia pieces.

Upper Deck’s first golf release since 2014 will be jam-packed with top talent, including 15-time major championship winner Tiger Woods, fellow World Golf Hall of Fame members Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman and Annika Sorenstam.

“We’ve seen an incredible demand for these golf cards since we announced them last fall and are excited that fans will be able to add them to their collections,” said Upper Deck’s Sports Brand Manager, Paul Zickler. “In addition to the legends included in Artifacts Golf, we also have recent major championship winners and players who are ready to break through.”

The first of three planned golf card releases for 2021, Artifacts Golf will feature a 90-card base set, including a 40-card serial numbered rookie set.
