What a find! Far rarer than USGA programs from the same era, early PGA Championship programs simply do not exist. This is not only the first 1928 PGA Championship program that we've ever offered for auction, it's literally the first we've ever seen. This exquisite program features Walter Hagen on the cover, as the Haig had won 4 consecutive PGA Championships!

The 1928 PGA Championship is one of the most famous (or infamous) in history, as Leo Diegel supplanted Walter Hagen as the PGA Champion. But when it came time to award Diegel the Wanamaker trophy, it was nowhere to be found. Hagen did not bring the trophy with him, and told the story that he lost it in a Chicago taxi cab. The original Wanamaker trophy would later be found in a warehouse at L.A. Young - the company that manufactured the Hagen line of golf clubs. 

This is certainly one of the most visually stunning Major Championship programs ever produced. The cover of this program has been separated, though this could be professionally repaired. 

This program is listed in the 2004 Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles at $3000. But like we said, we've never even seen this program before, so its value is, to us, far greater than that.
