Bridgestone has already sold out of their entire inventory of Tour B XS balls with "Tiger" on the side just like the 15-time major champion plays, and the new commemorative balls coming this week will be in even greater demand.
"We're calculating the effect on sales and though it’s speculative at the moment I think a 30-percent increase in sales of the Tour B XS model he plays between now and Father's Day is a reasonable estimate. There are a lot of people who will say [they] want to play Tiger’s ball."
Featuring a commemorative picture of Tiger celebrating on the 18th green at Augusta National, the box of 12 balls will retail at the same price that the regular Tour B XS balls sell for ($44.99).
However, the commemorative balls will also have a collector's appeal to them, so don't be shocked to see them sell out fast.
