Inscribed by Arnold Palmer and Signed by Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Raymond Floyd and Hale Irwin.

Palmer, Nicklaus and Player -- known as "The Big Three" -- are credited with popularizing and commercializing the sport of golf around the world during the 1960's.  Winners of 34 majors between them and the only winners of the Masters from 1960 through 1966, the combination of Arnold Palmer’s “swashbuckling” style of play, Gary Player’s sheer willpower and Jack Nicklaus’ utter brilliance made for compelling television viewing and catapulted the game into the modern era.

Watson, Floyd and Irwin were champions in the era that followed, winning 14 majors between them.  Watson is considered one of the greatest links players of all time, winning the (British) Open five times and landing sixth on the career list of total major championship victories.  All six players are in the Golf Hall of Fame.

Slight rubbing to the extremities, very good or better in a like dust wrapper, also a little rubbed with a few small edge tears.

Books signed by The Big Three, let alone the additional champions, are quite scarce.
