Gene Sarazen's Actual Wilson Contract Extension

        One unique record of Gene Sarazen's is that he and Wilson Sporting Goods carried on the longest running endorsement contract between any athlete and sponsor in the history of all sports. It began in the 1920's and ran until "The Squire's" death in 1999. This item is the original actual five year contract extension between Wilson and Gene, signed and dated by Gene in January 1986. Full sized in immaculate condition.
