"Slammin' Sammy was a true athlete in a sport that sometimes has seen far less physically fit individuals have success at the highest levels. He was still very limber until his passing in 2002. Latter in life his eyesight was shot. This led to extremely shaky autographs in public crowds.The signed black sharpie 2000 Masters flag offered here was from a controlled private signing session with the autograph being one of the strongest, neatest to be found on a Masters flag. Thought by many experts to be among the five players of all-time, Snead was one of the top players in the world for most of four decades. Snead won a record 82 PGA Tour events including the Masters three times (1949,52,54). He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974, and received the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998.
