from "The Concession"
TONY JACKLIN COLLECTION

Tony Jacklin was the most celebrated British golfer of his generation. He was the first European player to win on the U.S. tour since the 1920s with his victory at the 1968 Jacksonville Open Invitational.  Jacklin then went on to win the 1969 Open Championship and 1970 U.S. Open. Even so, Jacklin is likely even more well-known today for his involvement in the Ryder Cup. He participated in 7 consecutive Ryder Cup Matches as a player, and then went on to Captain the European team 4 more times. It is his role as Ryder Cup Captain for which he is most revered in Britain. Jacklin led his team to its first victory in 28 years at the 1985 Ryder Cup, and then shocked the world by leading Europe to victory again in 1987 - Europe’s first-ever victory on U.S. soil. His career also included “the Concession” at the 1969 Ryder Cup, and an induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002.

Who can forget the 1969 Ryder Cup at Royal Birkdale, which yielded one of the most famous gestures of sportsmanship in the history of golf, when Jack Nicklaus conceded an 18th hole putt to Tony Jacklin for a 16-16 draw. This tournament will be forever known as “the Concession”. Offered here is Tony Jacklin’s actual Dinner Menu from “the Concession” Ryder Cup, which contains an amazing 26 signatures of individuals associated with the event. Included on this menu are vintage autographs of both “Concession” participants, Nicklaus and Jacklin, as well as Sam Snead, Lee Trevino, Billy Casper and more.
