14k Gold Wilbur Clark Desert Inn Tournament of Champions Medal

Presented here is a 14k Gold Wilbur Clarh Desert Inn Tournament of Champions medal that belonged to Dutch Harrison. Wilbur Clark was an early Las Vegas tycoon and he offered his Desert Inn Country Club as the host venue to The PGA Tour's Tournament of Champions. This 14K gold piece has the "Wilbur Clark" name and bust on one side of the coin and the image of a golfer and the words "Tournament of Champions" on the other side. This item is believed to have been a participant's medal

E.J. (Dutch) Harrison won 18 titles on the PGA tour and was inducted into the PGA Hall of Fame. Nine times Harrison had finished in the top 10 at major championships, and he won the 'Vardon Trophy' for lowest scoring average in 1954. Dutch had an outstanding golf career that had spanned over four decades, and he ranks fifth on the list of players with the most PGA Tour victories without a major championship title. We are please to offer this personal memorabilia from Dutch.
