Offered here is the actual Globe Life Insurance policy renewal for Old Tom Morris. This £100 life insurance policy was valid from December 1963 to December 1964. This would prove to be one of the most important years of Tom’s life, as he made the fateful return from Prestwick to his hometown of St Andrews. Tom would also win the 1864 Open Championship..

This document was previously owned by Tom Morris biographer Peter Crabtree, and was part of his legendary collection.
