1969 Masters Tournament

Contestant's Pin

      This is an original Contestant's Badge from the 1969 Masters Tournament. This badge was produced for Player #88, but less than 88 players were invited to the 1969 Masters Tournament, so this pin went unused. It comes from the personal collection of longtime Augusta National executive secretary Kathryn Murphy, who the Augusta Chronicle once described as "one of the most influential behind-the-scenes people in Masters Tournament history." This original pin is in near mint condition.
