Hoping to tap into some golf memorabilia fans! I identified the one on the bottom as Vj Singh but I’m struggling with the other names. Would greatly appreciate anyone’s help. Believe this flag is circa 2004 – 2006. Thank you in advance!

Some real stand up guys in a really hard field
It’s very “”HARD”” to remember who played at that tournament .
Great event, each day lasted well over four hours though
You know, I never realized how thick professional flags are. It makes sense though, they need to be able to handle a stiff breeze.
Chicago local? I’m interested in buying. I’m in Lockport
Surely one of those autographs is from Smilin’ Bob
I’m pretty sure I was there in 06
I swear I see David Toms’ scribble near the top left… maybe
I see James Driscoll wrote “Go Pats”.
I see Shaun Micheel and Steve Jones.
James Driscoll top left
Peter Johnson
Do you know what year the flag is from?
Used to go yearly for about 4 years before the tourney changed and eventually wasnt held at cog hill anymore.
I can spot Hue Jedong from a mile away. Stiff Johnson as well.
VJ Singh potentially under Hill
Vijay Singh on the bottom.
See your doctor if your flag remains stiff for more than four hours.
No it’s too hard
Arnold Palmer is rolling in his grave with all that scribble 🤦♂️
Lots of firm putters.
Likely Signatures (Strong Matches)
1. Phil Mickelson – lower right, smooth long “Phil M” and looped tail.
2. Stewart Cink – bottom center, clear “Stewart Cink” with open handwriting.
3. K.J. Choi – near bottom center-left, angular and compact “KJ C”.
4. John Cook – left-center, legible cursive name with open “J” and “C”.
5. Vijay Singh – near top center-left, bold sweeping “Vijay S” with distinctive upward tail.
6. Chad Campbell – top right-center, compact signature with two “C”s.
7. Lee Janzen – upper left-center, identifiable looping “L” and “J”.
8. Davis Love III – top right edge, slanted “DLIII” style.
9. Steve Flesch – mid-left, often loops the “F” like on your flag.
10. Chris DiMarco – right middle, quick “C D” style consistent with his autograph.
11. Jim Furyk – bottom right, slanted tight “JFuryk” form.
12. Scott Verplank – top right, tidy vertical signature.
So not that this flag is from it but the 2005 leaderboard for this tourney had some great names:
Woods
Slocum
Perks
Couch
Flesch
Gay
Verplank
Lickliter
Long
Small
Palmer
Glover
Bateman
Howell.
They had to contact a physician if the event lasted longer than 5 hours
Boner Bob signed bottom right.
Woody Austin
Brett Wetterich under DUBS
Charlie Wie above the letters ALAF
Didn’t realize boner pills were literally Tada!lafil
