Palmer, Nicklaus, Goalby & 11 Others Signed 1963 Tournament of Champions Gallery Control Hat
Only two years after the big-three first played together and the year of Nicklaus' first Masters Tournament win in his sophomore professional campaign, two of golf's most influential players signed this Gallery Control guard's Styrofoam hat in ballpoint pen. The previously described Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer would leave their timeless ballpoint pen time-period formation signatures on this over 60 year old hat that made it to this date in remarkably good, yet used (welcomed signs), condition. Key in on Nicklaus' signature style in which he legibly forms nearly each letter of his name. The 1963 Champions of Golf's field consisted of Nicklaus, Palmer and fellow signers: Billy Casper, Bo Winnegar, Al Geiberger, Bob Goalby, Ted Kroll, Jacky Culpit, 1961 Ryder Cup Captain Jerry Barber (x2), Johnny Pott, Dave Regan, John Barnam and one other. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
