1934 Masters Tournament Photo of

Bobby Jones with Calamity Jane

        Offered here is a truly stunning original photograph of Bobby Jones at the 1934 Masters Tournament. When the inaugural Masters Tournament took place, Bobby Jones had been retired from competitive golf for 4 years. Jones knew, however, that the chances of the tournament's success was greatly improved if he played. So he did.

        There are a surprisingly few number of photographs of Bobby Jones that exist from the Inaugural Masters Tournament, and this may be the finest. The is almost certainly a staged photograph, where the photographer makes Bobby Jones appear larger than life and he strokes a putt with his trust Calamity Jane.

        This original photograph measures 7" x 9" and is in excellent condition.
