1910 The Great Triumvirate 'The Golfing Diploma' Jubilee of the Golfing Championship - Vardon, Taylor & Braid
The oldest major championship turned 50 in 1910, with modern day majors PGA Championship and Masters Tournament six and 24 years away respectively. The birthday looks back on each Champion Golfer of the Year on this oversize 'Golfing Diploma' time-period black and white print. A group of three golfers that had shaped the the 1910 landscape went by the collective name 'The Great Triumvirate.' This threesome preceded 'The Big Three' of Palmer, Nicklaus and Player and consisted of Open Championship victors and golfing greats JH Taylor, James Braid and Harry Vardon. From 1894 through 1914 these three golfers managed to win an incredible 16 Open Championships. Taylor, Braid and Vardon are depicted in swing photos with their facsimile signatures as the main act of this 112 year old print, with portraits of their fellow champions including the Morris' framing them. 30 1/2" x 25 3/4"
