1959 Augusta National Masters Tournament Press, Radio, & TV Release
The 1959 Masters marked the debut of a 19 year old amateur by the name of Jack Nicklaus. The real story of the 1959 Masters Tournament, however, was the dramatic rise of Art Wall, Jr., who carded a final round of 66 while overtaking 12 golfers to win his only major championship. Wall, Jr. would connect on birdies on five of the final six holes at Augusta National, pulling away from Cary Middlecoff, who finished one stroke behind the winner, and two strokes ahead of Arnold Palmer, who was a co-leader entering Sunday's final round. Presented here for bidders is a press, radio, and television release dated March 24, 1959, a little over a week before the tournament started. It comes in excellent condition.
Please note: This auction will end at 7:00pm EST on Sunday, November 19th, with EXTENDED BIDDING to follow. All items in the auction will remain open until no items have received a bid within a 15 minute time period. All lots are free to be bid on until extended bidding has ended
