1957 Masters Tournament
Series Ticket
 

        Masters Badges are not only some of the most collected golf memorabilia, they are some of the most popular tickets in all of sport. The Masters Tournament began using thicker "badges" beginning with the 1961 Masters Tournament, which patrons would attach to their clothing with a safety pin. Presented here is a pre-1961 Masters Paper Ticket - a rare 1957 Masters Series Ticket. This Series Ticket entitled its original owner to attend every day of the 1957 Masters Tournament, which saw Doug Ford shoot a bogey-free 66 on the final day in a come-from-behind win over the immortal Sam Snead.
