1942 Masters Ticket

     Presented here is a rare ticket from the 1942 Masters Tournament, which was won by Byron Nelson.  This ticket allowed its patron access to the Monday practice round for a whopping $1.11.  All Masters tickets from before the tournament went to the more durable badges in 1961 are hard to find.  But pre-World War II tickets are virtually unheard of.  What makes this badge even more amazing is that it contains one of the lowest numbers of any pre-war Masters ticket we've ever seen - #155. And it's hard to imagine that many 1942 Masters Tickets still exist that are even close to this outstanding condition after 66 years.   Truly an amazing piece of golf memorabilia.
