1928 Long Beach Open Badge

(Walter Hagen Victory)

    Original badges from Walter Hagen's victories are very difficult to find, and the offered example is no exception. This original weekly "Season" badge comes from the 1928 Long Beach Open, which was the 35th PGA Tour victory (of 45 total) in Walter Hagen's career. The only other tournament Hagen won in 1928 was the Open Championship. The badge measures 1.5" in diameter and is in very good to excellent condition.
