'Big 3' Nicklaus, Palmer, & Player Signed Green Jacket Photo w/Bobby Jones & Cliff Roberts
This is a who's who image that captured the 1965 Masters green jacket ceremony presentation with Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player in the second row with President and Chairman Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts respectively is signed by each of Golf's Big Three in black sharpie. The candid shot is in color, significant in the fact that each of the five men of provenance are wearing their prized uniform bright green haberdashery. Palmer, Nicklaus, and Player were known as golf's "Big Three," who dominated golf in the 1960s and are credited with popularizing and commercializing the sport during the television age of golf. The three have a combined 34 major championships, with Jack's 18 still sitting securely atop the golf world. Player's nine Majors are tied for fourth all-time with Ben Hogan, and The King won seven major championships. The Big Three were then honorary starters kicking off the tournament with the ceremonial first shots on the first hole. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity (ALOA) comes with this lot. 8" x 10"
