The exact shoes worn by Arnold Palmer for his maiden major win have gone up for auction… and are expected to sell for $15,000!

The nine-time major winner won his first title at the 1958 Masters
and did so wearing these black and white FootJoy leather wingtip shoes.

It is understood that Heritage Auctions
received the shoes from the son of a man who served as Palmer’s
personal pilot in the 1960s. Palmer gave the shoes as a gift, and the
man passed them down to his son, with Palmer signing his name on them in
2004.

The current bid stands at $4,800 – but expect that to rocket over the
next couple of weeks until the auction closes on February 26.

In the same lot is a 1974 portrait of Arnold Palmer
by American artist LeRoy Neiman – known for his brilliantly coloured,
expressionist paintings and screen prints of athletes, musicians, and
sporting events.

The current bid on that stands at $25,000 – with it expected to fetch up to $100,000.
