The Ryder Cup
Gene Sarazen's 1953 Sr. PGA Championship
Runner-Up Medal
The Gene Sarazen Estate
We are very privileged to have the opportunity to auction off numerous items
from the Gene Sarazen Estate. Each of these items comes from the personal
collection of the late Gene Sarazen. This is the first time that any of the
items have been offered for sale.
This lot contains Gene Sarazen's actual Runner-Up Medal from the 1953 PGA
Seniors' Championship. While Mr. Sarazen could not win his first Senior Tour
Major Championship this year, he would go on to win the title the following
year, as well as for a 2nd time in 1958. This extraordinary medal comes with a
letter of provenance from renowned collector Mark Emerson, who has been tasked
with helping the Sarazen Estate sell the rest of Mr. Sarazen's collection.
