August 09, 2025 - The December 1996 issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids, published on December 1, 1996, is best known for containing the now-iconic Tiger Woods rookie card. The magazine itself followed the familiar SI for Kids format, with colorful articles, puzzles, and sports features aimed at young readers. Bound inside was a perforated 9-card uncut sheet featuring various athletes from different sports. One of these was the Tiger Woods card, depicting the then 20-year-old golf prodigy in mid-swing, shortly after turning professional and beginning his meteoric rise. Printed on thin card stock with dotted perforations for easy removal, the Woods card is considered one of the most valuable modern sports cards due to its rarity in high grade—since most were torn from the sheet by children and suffered creases or edge damage. This combination of a kid-focused sports magazine and a rookie card insert of a future golf legend has made the December 1996 issue a sought-after collectible in its own right.
