Tom Watson Signed & Inscribed Arnold Palmer Memorial Program - Scarce
Offered here is a program from Arnie's funeral service that has been signed by Tom Watson, with the inscription of "A great tribute to a great man! - Tom Watson" in black marker on the front cover. Tom Watson, like many others, grew up idolizing Arnold Palmer. The two competed in many tournaments together, starting with an exhibition match in 1965 when Watson was just 15 years old. A personal inscription such as this will be few and far between, and it may be the only one as it was only acquired on the basis that all the money from this item will be going to children with autism.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
Not only does one lucky bidder get to add this unique item to their collection, but ALL MONEY from the sale of this signed program will go to children with autism. Thank you to Tom Watson for making this such a special piece of golf history, and an even bigger thank you to our consignor for donating all the proceeds to such a worthy cause as children with autism.
Please note: This auction will end at 7:00pm EST on Sunday, October 1st, 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
