1985 Masters Player's Pin

        Each year the Masters (as well as the other Major Championships) gives out a contestant's pin for each competing golfer. (For one of the oldest examples of this practice, see Lot 1, where we are auctioning off a 1929 U.S. Open contestant's pin). This pin is used at the credentials for the player for that week. When attending the Masters, you'll often see these pins attached to the golfer's hat or belt during the week, as the pins give the players access to the front gate, locker rooms and other facilities not open to anyone else.While watching the 2008 Masters Tournament, you will see that virtually every player is wearing their player pin on their hat.

        Presented here is Masters Player's Pin number 93 from 1985.
