Willie Mays Personal Golf Club

Description

Own a remarkable crossover piece of sports history with baseball legend Willie Mays Personal Golf Club. Offered here is a vintage MacGregor VIP 5-iron that comes directly from Mays’ personal collection — a truly special artifact that blends the worlds of baseball greatness and classic golf memorabilia.

This right-handed MacGregor VIP golf club features a polished chrome club head engraved with the VIP marking and professionally stamped with “WILLIE MAYS,” signifying personalized manufacture. The shaft retains its original MacGregor Tourney Taper label and is marked “EXTRA X STIFF,” further enhancing its authenticity and period correctness. Measuring approximately 39 inches in length, the club shows honest game use with moderate wear to the grip and club head — evidence of genuine ownership rather than display-only preservation.

Accompanying this exceptional Willie Mays memorabilia is a Certificate of Provenance from Hunt Auctions confirming its origin from the Willie Mays estate, along with authentication documentation from noted expert John Reznikoff, a respected authority affiliated with major authentication services. These credentials make this piece highly desirable for serious collectors seeking investment-grade sports memorabilia collectibles.

Beyond the baseball diamond, Mays was an avid golfer who frequently appeared in celebrity tournaments throughout the 1970s and 1980s. This game-used golf club represents that lesser-seen side of his competitive spirit, offering collectors a rare personal connection to the Say Hey Kid’s life after baseball.

Whether displayed in a memorabilia collection, sports office, or private gallery, this rare Willie Mays collectible stands as a conversation-starting tribute to one of the greatest athletes in sports history — now available at AntiqueArmory.com.
