Doug Sanders' 1966 Masters Tournament Bag Tag

THE DOUG SANDERS COLLECTION

          Offered in this auction are some exceptional pieces of memorabilia from the personal collection of former PGA Tour star Doug Sanders. Doug Sanders won 20 times on the PGA Tour, and finished in the top 4 in every Major Championship. Despite his overwhelming success as a professional golfer, Mr. Sanders is notoriously remembered for missing a 3-foot putt to win the 1970 Open Championship at St. Andrews - a tournament that Jack Nicklaus would go on to win by one stroke in a playoff the next day.

          This is Doug Sanders' personal bag tag that was issued to him for the 1966 Masters Tournament, in which he finished 4th - his highest-ever finish in the Masters. Jack Nicklaus of course, won the 1966 Masters Tournament. The tag exhibits significant foxing, but from such a significant tournament, we figured that one of our collectors is no doubt still interested!
