Not only did Jack and Arnie team up to win the team event, but Jack also received the International Trophy, which was awarded to the individual with the best 72-hole score. The tournament was founded by Canadian industrialist John Jay Hopkins, who hoped it would promote international goodwill through golf. It began in 1953 as the Canada Cup and changed its named to the World Cup in 1967. This 2 1/2" diameter Press Pin is a highly collectible item from two of golf's greatest legends, a victory earned together.
