2023 January Golf memorabilia Auction - Closing Date 2/5/2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/5/2023
1958 Masters Tournament THURSDAY Ticket #2485 - Arnold Palmer 1st Masters Win
Arnie's first Masters victory would change The Masters forever! A great's first in the realm of sport is often hard to predict - as that individual is then relatively unproven and spectators are not expecting said outcome. Arnie's at Augusta National was no different, gaining an army of patrons along the way. Here we have the aesthetically pleasing light green ticket from the first round, Thursday of the 1958 Masters. Arnold Palmer eagled the 13th hole on Sunday to claim the first of his four Masters wins over Doug Ford and Fred Hawkins. This was also the tournament where there would be a slight controversy over scoring on the 12th hole for Palmer - only adding to the story.
Palmer and The Masters Tournament will forever be linked, with this ticket a prized piece of ephemera for many decades to come - and current gem in a robust ticket market. Condition is impressive including the original sting and jet black print, with only slight discoloration and soft creases visible on verso.
