Mr. Baseball and Company, Inc. Presents “Going for the Green”            

In the history of sports, there have been an elite few whose emergence on the scene has changed the nature of the game itself. These special athletes not only changed the way that their game was played, but caused an explosion in popularity that changed the way their sport is watched.  Names such as Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky are eternally linked to the sports that they left forever changed.   The last decade has seen Tiger Woods join this list as he transforms the sport of golf.  While his tournament win total continues to grow with the size of the crowds, Tiger keeps his sights set on “Going for the Green”.           

For many athletes, the “green” that they desire comes in the form of cash winnings.  While Tiger Woods has already reached the top of the PGA Tour’s All-Time career earnings list, money has never been his driving force.  For Tiger, the goal has been Major Championships, and specifically, Masters Championships and the green jacket that comes with victory at Augusta.           

 Over a 24 year career, Jack Nicklaus set what many thought to be the unreachable totals of 18 Major Championships and 6 Masters Championships.  But in just 13 years Tiger has already claimed 14 Major Championships and 4 Green Jackets.  In addition, at the age of 33, Tiger is ranked third in all-time career wins on the PGA tour. Clearly Tiger Woods has forever elevated what it means to be great in the world of professional golf.              

An honors graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Ben Teeter has quickly become one of the best known and most prolific young artists in the world of sports art.  He has been commissioned by Donruss Baseball Cards to paint 72 of their prestigious Diamond King Series cards.  In 2001 and 2002 he was commissioned by the NFL Alumni to create paintings for their player of the year awards.  In this exquisite painting, Ben has captured the fluidity of motion and tenacity of spirit that drive Tiger Woods in “Going for the Green”.
