Description

This April 4th, 1955, Sports Illustrated (VG-EX) describes the cover on the title page:

“Driving off the eighth tee of the beautiful Augusta National Golf Course in his losing playoff battle with Sam Snead for the 1954 Masters title, Ben Hogan exhibits the form that will make him a top favorite for the coveted crown again this year. Hogan has won the Masters twice, was runner up three times and his 1953 total of 274 is the lowest ever recorded.”

See how he overcame adversity by watching the movie, “Follow the Sun” with Glenn Ford as the Master’s star.

Golfing royalty, Ben Hogan has signed this SI cover with a bold black (“9-10”) signature.

Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA.
