1975 Masters Tournament

Player's Invitation

      Offered here is a rare chance to own an original player invitation for the 1975 Masters Tournament, which was won by Jack Nicklaus. Only 76 golfers were invited to the 1975 Masters Tournament (including the first ever black golfer, Lee Elder). How many original invitations have likely survived? Surely only a handful.

      This original 1975 Masters invite comes from the personal collection of the late Kathryn Murphy, who was the longtime Augusta National executive assistant.
