1953 Masters Tournament SERIES Badge #1805 w/Original String - Ben Hogan Win
This marks only the third 1953 Masters SERIES ticket that The Golf Auction has had to offer. Starting with the historical side of the evaluation for the tournament represented by this offered 1953 Series Masters Badge #1805 is necessary. The 1953 Masters ticket carries the highest value among Masters ticket collectors after the early years 1934-40 ducats. This valuation is due at least in part to Ben Hogan's great run in the 1953 Majors. That year he would become the first player to win three professional Majors in a year following his Masters victory with triumphs in the U.S. Open at Oakmont and the British Open at Carnoustie. Remaining in very good condition with jet black print, its original string and only a single fold, this admission voucher was there to witness the legendary swing of Hogan. Ben won his 2nd Masters title in 1953, finishing 5 shots ahead of Porky Oliver. This opportunity will likely serve as one of the only a few to add this historic ticket to your collection. This ducat represents a significant moment in Ben Hogan's career and a Masters relic with high eye appeal, perhaps used to improve your current example if you are so lucky to currently own one.
