Brad Bryant’s 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines Contestant Badge

Brad Bryant’s 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines Contestant Badge

Tiger Woods won the 2008 US Open on a left knee that was giving him pain throughout the entirety of the tournament. This major victory would be Woods' last until the miraculous Masters Tournament in 2019. The contestant badge belonged to Brad Bryant, received directly from him, and includes his name engraved on it. These are very difficult, with less than a handful of the original 156 issued to players offered to the public 17 years later. The badge is in very good condition and 1 1/2" by 1 1/2." A signed letter of provenance from Brad Bryant will accompany this lot.

Brad Bryant Collection

All three rounds in the 60's (67-63-68), it was a dream came true for the triumphant Brad Bryant at the 54-hole 1995 Walt Disney World Oldsmobile Classic as inclement weather moved in. The resilient 40-year-young Bryant earned one of golf's finest monikers: PGA Tour Champion. University of New Mexico's Brad Bryant would take on the Champions Tour a decade later and win the 2007 Senior US Open major title, all while going back-to-back at the Regions Charity Classic in '06 and '07. His PGA Tour win would be backed up with four total Champions Tour victories. Longevity, consistency, hardwork and staying strong after seven runner-up finishes prior to a victory, the well-respected Bryant contested in over 500 PGA Tour events. His younger brother Bart won three times on tour as well. With great pride, The Golf Auction presents Brad Bryant's collection in which he has amassed during his professional golfing career that began nearly 50 years ago.
