The April 1966 Masters Tournament issue of Sports Illustrated magazine is one of the most popular golf covers in history. The whimsical green jacket cover featuring The Big Three has always had strong collecting appeal. The offered example is among the finest we've ever offered - with excellent autographs from Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus.

Why were The Big Three on the cover? Well, they had accounted for every Masters Tournament victory for the previous 6 years. And the week following this cover Jack Nicklaus would win yet again at the 1966 Masters.
