A genuine signed “The First Tee New Zealand” golf cap featuring the signature of Lydia Ko, one of New Zealand’s most recognised and accomplished sporting figures.

Before becoming an Olympic gold medallist, major champion, and former world number one, Lydia Ko was already inspiring young golfers throughout New Zealand through her involvement with The First Tee NZ youth golf programme.

This cap was signed in person during my time as National Programming Director for The First Tee New Zealand, giving the piece direct and personally verifiable provenance. During this period, The First Tee NZ was actively building its national presence through charity tournaments, youth development initiatives, and events involving professional golfers, business leaders, and well-known sporting personalities.

The cap features the embroidered The First Tee New Zealand logo and presents in very good condition, with only light handling associated with the original signing and long-term storage. The signature displays clearly and makes for an excellent display piece for collectors of golf or New Zealand sporting memorabilia.

This is one of a small number of Lydia Ko signed caps from the same event period, each being listed individually through ConsignIt on OpShop.Kiwi.
