Scarce 1958 Masters Tournament

Hogan and Nelson Bridge Dedication

& Driving Contest Ticket

         This is a piece of Masters Tournament memorabilia that we've never seen before, and, until now, didn't even know existed.

        Offered here is an original ticket for the ceremony dedicating the Hogan and Nelson bridges at Augusta National and the "driving contest" that soon followed. This ticket provided "complimentary access" to Augusta National Golf Club on April 2, 1958 for the Hogan and Nelson bridge dedications.

        Before this ticket surfaced, we had no idea that this event occurred on the Wednesday before the 1958 Masters Tournament.

        It should be pointed out that Arnold Palmer went on to win the 1958 Masters Tournament.
