1935 Masters Sunday Ticket from Sarazen's Double Eagle Signed by Bobby Jones

          The 1935 Masters is quite possibly the most famous Masters Tournament in history.  Then considered simply a nice, small invitational tournament, Gene Sarazen famously put the tournament on the map with his double eagle on the 15th hole on Sunday that catapulted him to victory.  Only a handful of items from the 1935 Masters Tournament are known to exist.  With the exception of Sarazen's 4-wood and ball from his "shot heard 'round the world" that are currently in the possession of Augusta National Golf Club, this is certainly one of the greatest piece of memorabilia from the 1935 Masters. 

            Presented here is an actual ticket from that historic day when Gene Sarazen put tiny Augusta, Georgia on the map.  Only a handful of these tickets are known to exist, and none more significant than this.  This amazing badge has been signed by both Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen; signatures that one can speculate were actually obtained on that very historic day at the 1935 Masters.  More than simply another piece of golf memorabilia, this one of a kind item is an actual piece of golf history. The Gilchrist Guide to Golf Collectibles on page 17 lists this ticket at $10,000. With the added wonderful signatures who knows the value? We'll let you decide on this great, rare no reserve item.

            This badge originally had a small tear at the hole which has been restored by a nationally recognized museum conservator.
