Ed Dudley's

1949 Ryder Cup Money Clip

         In this auction, we have the extreme privilege of offering the personal collection of the late Ed Dudley. In addition to being a 15 time winner on the PGA Tour, Dudley is probably best known for being the 1st Head Pro at Augusta National. Not only was he Head Pro at Augusta, Dudley also competed in every Masters Tournament from 1934 to 1950. Dudley was also the golf coach for Dwight Eisenhower, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

        Presented here is Ed Dudley's money clip from the 1949 Ryder Cup. The 1949 Ryder Cup is best-known for being Ben Hogan serving as the non-playing Captain while he recovered from his near fatal car crash.

        Dudley was a 3-time participant in the Ryder Cup, but likely attended the 1949 Ryder Cup since the tournament was held shortly after his position as President of the PGA of America concluded in 1948.

        This is the first time we have ever offered an original 1949 Ryder Cup money clip, which is in excellent condition.
