Jack Nicklaus & Johnny Miller Signed 1975 Masters Tournament Wednesday Ticket #8403
Since it's beginning in 1960 at the Masters the Wednesday Par 3 nine hole competition at the Masters has grown in popularity at the Augusta National. This fan favorite is so popular that the Wednesday ticket is second only to the final round Sunday ticket in demand among patrons of the Masters. As this tradition has grown, so has an understanding among contending pro's that no player who has won the par 3 on Wednesday has gone on to claim the Masters title on Sunday. Jack Nicklaus did not win the par 3 competition in 1975, Isao Aoki did. He however won his fifth Masters green jacket that year. Johnny Miller was always a threat to win the par 3 with his crisp iron playhe would claim the mid week Masters title in 1980. Both these Hall of Famers, Nicklaus and Miller, have signed this excellent condition Wednesday 1975 par 3 ticket in ink with clean signatures. James Spence Authentication has reviewed both autographs, and their certificate comes with this lot. Collections of the Par 3 tickets like the event itself are on the rise in Masters collecting. This example remains in near mint condition (sans attaching string), and is presented in strong acrylic display case. This case can be easily removed for display in whatever fashion winning bidder desires.
