1964 PGA Championship at Columbus CC Contestant Badge - Bobby Nichols Winner

Bobby Nichols was the wire to wire winner, but there were two pretty good golfers that chased him all weekend. Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus both finished runner-up to Nichols, whose 271 was a PGA low record that stood for 30 years. This lot offers a contestant badge from the tournament in good condition and measuring 1 1/2" x 1 3/4". Green, white and gold were the colors of that year, 55 years ago. This relic of competition at golfs highest level comes directly from the PGA where it has resided for over 75 years. This piece will come with a signed letter from Historian Bob Denney of the PGA, proclaiming that this item comes from their collection.
