Description

Flown on the eighth hole at Quail Hollow during Round 3 of the 2025 PGA Championship, this flag was in place on Saturday, May 17 as players closed out the front nine. Alex Noren rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt—his second in a row—to move to five under par and keep momentum heading into the turn.

The flag displays the official 2025 PGA Championship design, featuring Quail Hollow tournament branding and the number “8” clearly marking its on-course placement. Following the completion of Saturday’s round, a TRuEST™ authenticator witnessed its removal directly on-site. It was subsequently secured, marked, and verified as part of a complete Saturday course set.


Disclaimer:

This item features a Gold OVD, as a TRuEST™ authenticator was on-site to witness the flag’s removal, verifying its direct use during the 2025 PGA Championship. Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the item’s authenticity as a field-used flag. The cover image has been edited for a white background; all additional photos show the actual flag itself.

Quail Hollow Club, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, has hosted some of the most significant tournaments in golf, including the 2017 PGA Championship and the 2022 Presidents Cup. Its challenging layout and championship pedigree made it a fitting stage for the 2025 PGA Championship, where precision, length, and composure were tested across all 18 holes.

This item is part of an official collaboration between The Realest™ and the PGA of America, designed to make authenticated tournament-used artifacts available directly to fans for the first time. Every piece has been verified in coordination with on-site PGA Championship operations staff and TRuEST™ authenticators.
