Description

Snead rights the record: “I have not won 75 tournaments and I believe I’m safe in saying there isn’t a man living that has won that many major tournaments.”

He won a record 82 PGA Tour events and about 70 others worldwide. He won seven majors: three Masters, three PGA Championships and one British Open. In spite of his great achievements, his reputation has always been slightly tainted by his failure to win a U.S. Open. ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 11, 1948. Letter of response to a fan’s questions. In part, “The questions you wished answered are a little tough as I do not keep a record of tournaments I participate in each year. However, I have not won 75 tournaments and I believe I’m safe in saying there isn’t a man living that has won that many major tournaments. I have won about 40 tournaments and played about an average of 18 each year.” In fine condition, with a bit of light wrinkling. LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
