Gene Sarazen's 1965 Masters Tournament

Tool Kit

        Offered here is Gene Sarazen's personal 1965 Masters Tournament gift. This item was obtained directly from the Gene Sarazen estate.

        The Masters Tournament is famous for many things to many people, among which are the complimentary gifts given to the players. In 1965, the tournament provided a unique German-made tool kit encased in a green leather zipped case with the Masters logo and year 1965 engraved. As evidenced by some moderate wear and three missing original bits, Mr. Sarazen obviously made good use of his Masters gift.

       Letter of Authenticity from Prominent Golf Historian and Collector Mark Emerson, who for several years has been advising and assisting the heirs of Hall of Fame golfer Gene Sarazen in the proper disposition of his private personal memorabilia and comes directly from the Sarazen estate.
