Jack Nicklaus' 1963 Masters Caddie Uniform

Important Description Update. See Below

Presented here is a Masters item that we are asked about all of the time, but which we have had extreme difficulty locating. Amazingly, our exhaustive search over the past few years has turned up only 3 of these rare caddie uniforms, including the one offered here. Allowing for the fact that a couple others may be out there, that's still only a half-dozen or so in existence.

These vintage Masters caddie coveralls were used from 1958 to 1970. They were re-used each year, meaning that this uniform was likely used for most, if not all, of those Masters Tournaments. This particular uniform is #49 - meaning that it was worn by the caddie of the 49th player to register each year. The uniform remains in superb condition, and displays impressively.

Due to the exhaustive research of our own Bob Zafian, with the assistance of noted golf historian Mark Emerson, we have been able to successfully identify the players whose caddie wore this vintage caddie uniform at the Masters Tournament. And the answer is nothing short of spectacular! In addition to being "on the bag" for former Masters Champions Byron Nelson, Gary Player and Doug Ford, this exact caddie uniform was worn by Jack Nicklaus' caddie Willie Peterson when he won the 1963 Masters Tournament.

Simply put, this new discovery means that this caddie uniform is the most significant piece of memorabilia ever offered from Jack Nicklaus 1963 Masters Tournament victory.

Check out this complete list of players whose caddie wore this uniform, as well as the photos we have added of Nicklaus and Player with this hand-sewn caddie uniform in the background.
