Wire Photo

As you've no doubt seen by now, this Winter Golf Auction by Green Jacket Auctions represents one of the greatest sales of golf photographs in history. From Old Tom Morris & the origins of professional golf to Bobby Jones & the founding of Augusta National, many of the offered photographs are among the finest such examples in the hobby.

        Offered here is surely one of the most significant photographs in Masters Tournament history. This is an original photograph of Horton Smith at the first Masters Tournament in 1934. Due to being the first-ever Masters Champion, Horton Smith has developed a cult following among golf collectors. And after Horton Smith's Green Jacket shattered all golf memorabilia records in our Summer Golf Auction, the allure of Horton Smith has escalated dramatically.

        This 6"x8" image depicts Horton Smith putting on Friday of the 1934 Masters Tournament. Condition is nice with one small corner crease and some light crazing. Reverse has a full paper caption and stamps from Acme and NEA.
