1962 PGA Championship at Aronimink GC Contestant Badge - Gary Player Winner

This tournament gave Gary Player his third leg of his career grand slam, as it was his first of two PGA victories. The badge is in very good, to excellent condition and uses a royal blue, white and gold color pattern of enamel against the 1 3/8” x 2 ½” money clip which carried engraving 1962 on its facing side. Fleck's money clip issued for the '62 event is offered here still retaining all its original enamel. The reverse of this memento carries stampings of where these matches were contested "Aronimink Golf Club" "Newtown Square, PA" and the date July 19-22. This relic of competition at golfs highest level comes directly from the PGA where it has resided for over 75 years. This piece will come with a signed letter from Historian Bob Denney of the PGA, proclaiming that this item comes from their collection.
