John Daly's 2000 British Open Contestant's Pin

       Contestant's pins from Major Championships are obviously extremely rare, as only one is made for each tournament participant and few tour pros ever part with them.  Two primary factors help determine the value of such contestant's pins - the winner of the tournament and the player who used the pin, if known.  In this auction, we are proud to present some of the most incredible contestant pins ever offered for sale to the public - including pins from all 4 major championships which make up the "Tiger Slam." 

        Presented here is a contestant's pin from the 2000 British Open - the site of Tiger Woods' historic domination at the home of golf, St. Andrews.  This contestant's pin was obtained directly from John Daly.  Daly also knows a thing or two about St. Andrews, the site of his 1995 British Open victory.  This is the first time that we've had the opportunity to auction a contestant's pin from this historic tournament, and to come from John Daly makes this piece even more amazing.
