Ed Dudley's

1951 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 actual 1951 Ryder Cup Money Clip. Though Dudley participated in 3 Ryder Cups (1929, 1933 and 1937), he likely attended the 1951 Ryder Cup in his capacity as former President of the PGA of America.

        The 1951 Ryder Cup is quite historic, as Ben Hogan participated in the Ryder Cup for the 2nd and final time. Additionally, the American Team dominated the competition at a quintessentially American course - Pinehurst No. 2.
