Lot of Three Pocket Crests - Infinity, Mercedes, and La Costa

Since 1953 the PGA Tour has hosted an event to kick off the season with an exclusive field of only winners from the previous seasons events. These three crests were gifted to Mark Brooks as a contestant in three of those season opening events limited to a field of winners only from the previos PGA season. Each crest. measures approximately 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". The first of three offered in this lot is the La Costa Tournament of Champions as sponsored by MONY, Brooks was in this 1989 event via his win at the 1988 Greater Hartford Open. The second crest comes from the 1992 Infiniti Tournament of Champions with Mark gaining entrance to this field via his 1991 wins at Milwaukee and Greensboro. Finally the third crest is from the 1997 Mercedes Championship which he was invited to participate in through his three Tour victories in 1996. These extremely limited field events offer very few opportunities for the collecting world to acquire these pocket crests.
