Significant Dwight Eisenhower White House Letter to Gene Sarazen

            Augusta National member and golf enthusiast Dwight Eisenhower is often credited with spreading the game's popularity in the United States.  Golf-related items from the former President of the United States are coveted by collectors.  This particular item is the most significant golf-related Eisenhower letter that we have ever seen offered for sale.  This is an item that truly belongs in the Eisenhower Library and Museum or a prominent golf museum.

            Presented here is a letter from President Dwight Eisenhower to Masters Champion Gene Sarazen, containing a large, impressive Dwight Eisenhower signature.  Spectacularly, this letter is on White House letterhead and even includes the original White House envelope addressed to Gene Sarazen.  There are Eisenhower signed letters, and then there is this particular letter; clearly this is one of the finest Eisenhower golf-content letters in existence.
