1937 Masters Tournament Ticket

 

Presented here is a truly rare opportunity to obtain an original ticket from the fourth playing of the Masters Tournament - then still called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament. This was the final year before the tournament changed its name to "the Masters Tournament." Only an handful of original tickets exist from the "Augusta National Invitation Tournament", with this being perhaps the highest quality example. Just take a look at this beauty - complete with its original string. 

 

This ticket - for only $1.10!! - provided the owner entrance into the Sunday practice round for the tournament that Byron Nelson would eventually win. The ticket is in near mint condition - likely the highest grade example of all known tickets from the 1930s.
