1998 British Open Contestant's Pin

    Contestant's pins from Major Championships are obviously extremely rare, as only one is made for each tournament participant and few tour pros ever part with them. Two primary factors help determine the value of such contestant's pins - the winner of the tournament and the player who used the pin, if known. In this auction, we are proud to present some of the most incredible contestant pins ever offered for sale to the public - including pins from the 4 major championships which make up the "Tiger Slam."

    Presented here is a contestant's pin from the 1998 British Open, which was held at Royal Birkdale and won by Mark O'Meara.
