This is something that we truly had to see to believe.

Offered here is Bobby Jones' actual, worn player badge from the 1941 Masters Tournament. Quite amazingly, we have even located multiple photos of Bobby Jones wearing this exact badge during the 1941 Masters - making this perhaps the only photo matched Bobby Jones item in existence. 

Bobby Jones was Player #1 - an honor later bestowed upon the defending Masters Champion after the great Bobby Jones' death. We've also included an image from the pairings sheet from the 1941 Masters confirming that Jones was Player #1 at the 1941 Masters. 

Very few pre-World War II player badges from the Masters Tournament are known to exist, and this example from Masters Tournament and Augusta National Founder Bobby Jones is without question the finest Masters player badge in existence. 

 2 1/4 in wide x 1 1.2 tall. Contains the original paper "Robt. T. Jones, Jr." insert.
