1946 PGA Championship at Portland CC Contestant Badge - Ben Hogan Winner
A necessity for any collection is this, a 1946 PGA Championship players badge from Ben Hogan's first Major Victory. His next major victory wouldn't come until 2 years later at that year's PGA Championship. After the infamous near fatal accident in early 1949, 'Bantam Ben' would not participate in another PGA Championship until 1960! The grueling schedule of 36 holes a day over the course of 5 days was too much for his body to handle. For such a high valued piece of golf history to be in this spectacular near mint condition with original cardboard mounting is a treasure to behold. A letter of from PGA Historian Emeritus Bob Denney will accompany this lot. 1 1/4"
