Calvin Peete Masters Low Score Glass Trophy - 4/13/1980
Prior to Tiger Woods, Calvin Peete was the most successful African-American to have played on the PGA Tour with his 12 wins. One of the more prestigious moments for Calvin at the Masters was when he shot the low score of the day on Sunday at the 1980 Masters Tournament. In great condition, this well-kept Master's trophy looks like it was presented yesterday by the Augusta National Golf Club. Though not a green jacket, this award and similar one's for a hole-in-one, eagle or double eagle are presented for outstanding feats yearly during the Masters. They are highly prized by player's and known in short on the Tour as "Master's Crystal". For Calvin Peete, this prized piece of his trophy case was earned with the low round among participants during the Sunday final round in '80 with Peete firing a 67. For Calvin, to little to late, as this excellent closing round put him at 287 for the tournament. Seve Ballesteros would be the one to claim his first Masters Green Jacket that day. A truly difficult trophy to obtain this piece occupies an elite stratosphere in Masters collecting hierarchy.
8 1/2" tall with a 5" diameter, base diameter is 3".
