Brad Bryant’s 1981 TPC Championship at Sawgrass Contestant Badge
Ray Floyd was the winner of the 1981 tournament and received a contestant clip very similar to this one from the Brad Bryant Collection. Many consider The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass the 5th major in importance and with the field, excitement and iconic course (specifically 17th hole) it is tough to argue that. None the less, before you is 1981 Players Championship winner Ray Floyd's trophy that was presented to him only moments after securing the victory after a three-way tie at the end of 72 holes with Curtis Strange and Barry Jaeckel. It would take a single extra hole for Ray to separate himself from the pack and be crowned champion, with the Joseph C. Dey Trophy from the Tournament Players Association and a $72,000 check. Please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report. A signed letter of provenance from Brad Bryant will accompany this lot.
Brad Bryant Collection
All three rounds in the 60's (67-63-68), it was a dream came true for the triumphant Brad Bryant at the 54-hole 1995 Walt Disney World Oldsmobile Classic as inclement weather moved in. The resilient 40-year-young Bryant earned one of golf's finest monikers: PGA Tour Champion. University of New Mexico's Brad Bryant would take on the Champions Tour a decade later and win the 2007 Senior US Open major title, all while going back-to-back at the Regions Charity Classic in '06 and '07. His PGA Tour win would be backed up with four total Champions Tour victories. Longevity, consistency, hardwork and staying strong after seven runner-up finishes prior to a victory, the well-respected Bryant contested in over 500 PGA Tour events. His younger brother Bart won three times on tour as well. With great pride, The Golf Auction presents Brad Bryant's collection in which he has amassed during his professional golfing career that began nearly 50 years ago.
