1980 Bay Hill Trophy Sword

        The Bay Hill Classic/Invitational has historically given its tournament winner a large, impressive Sword, which is engraved "The Bay Hill Trophy". These famous Swords have been won by the likes of Phil Mickelson, Payne Stewart, Ernie Els and Tiger Woods. In fact, Tiger could start a small army with the swords from his amazing 6 Bay Hill victories.  What we didn't know until recently is that a few smaller Bay Hill Trophy Swords are produced for some select VIPs. These smaller Bay Hill Trophy Swords measure approximately 15 1/4" long, are mounted on a 20 1/2" x 5" wood plaque and given to certain VIPs. They are every bit as impressive as the full-size champion's sword. This particular Bay Hill Trophy Sword was given to someone affiliated with the 1980 Bay Hill Classic.
