Original 1935 Masters Wire Photo

with Gene Sarazen

As you've no doubt seen by now, this Winter Golf Auction by Green Jacket Auctions represents one of the greatest sales of golf photographs in history. From Old Tom Morris & the origins of professional golf to Bobby Jones & the founding of Augusta National, many of the offered photographs are among the finest such examples in the hobby.

        Offered here is an original 1935 photograph from one of the most important golf tournaments of all-time - the 1935 Masters Tournament. At the 2nd Masters Tournament, Gene Sarazen scored a double eagle on the 15th hole of his final round en route to his eventual victory. That single shot is often credited with putting the Masters Tournament on the map and ushering in the modern age of professional golf.

        This is an original 8"x10" photograph from that 1935 Masters Tournament, which depicts eventual winner Gene Sarazen with Charlie Yates. Photo is in very good condition. Reverse has NEA stamp from 1935 and handwritten notes as to the subjects, Sarazen and Yates.
