1963 Masters Tournament Official Press Badge - Jack Nicklaus Winner
Jack Nicklaus, the long-hitting Ohio native sunk a clutch 3 foot putt on the final hole to secure the victory and receive the green jacket at the hands of rival Arnold Palmer. Two years removed from his second US Amateur title, 23-year-old Nicklaus won for the first time at Augusta National Golf Club. He did it by defeating the following year's Champion Golfer of the Year, Tony Lema, by one stroke for a 268 total of 2-under par. Nicklaus would become a regular to wear the special jacket, slipping it over his broad shoulders five more times. Will Grimsley, a member of the Associated Press. New York, N.Y. that week, wore this 1963 Masters Tournament Official Press Badge. It is in fair to good condition, with Grimsley's name and company on the badge's white ANGC logo nameplate. It has some oxidation on the reverse, along with a couple signs of usage and age on the front side. 2 1/4" x 1 1/2"
