Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus & Gary Player 'Big 3' Signed 2015 Masters Embroidered Flag
Stacked across the heart of the Masters Tournament are three legible black sharpie signatures from the 'Big Three' of golf Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Simply put, they dominated professional golf in the 1960's, and are credited with popularizing and commercializing the sport during the television age of golf. The three have a combined 13 Masters victories (!) and 34 major championships, with Jack's 18 still sitting securely atop the golf world. Player's nine Majors are tied for fourth all-time with Ben Hogan, and The King won seven major championships. Here we have a 2015 Masters flag signed by them in black marker. The Big Three were honorary starters at the Masters for many years, kicking off the tournament with the ceremonial first shots on the hole #1 Tea Olive. Presentation is key, with this flag excelling in that element. Some spotting on back of flag, doesn't affect presentation. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
