1997 Masters Tournament Circle Vintage Patch American Needle Fitted Hat - 7 1/2 Unused

1997 Masters Tournament Circle Vintage Patch American Needle Fitted Hat - 7 1/2 Unused

This is the hat that started the limited members hats craze. Produced in 1997, it is known for featuring a patch very similar to the Patch on the members jackets. Augusta National halted production of the hat when they were made aware of consumers taking the patch off of the hat and adhering it on their green jackets. Hat is a great collectible. This example contains its original tags intact and would look great in any Masters Collection.
