This 1981 Donruss Golf Set features the top 60 players from the 1980 PGA money list in a unique offering made up entirely of Rookies, since it was the first all-golf issue since, well, ever. The offered group of five complete 66-card sets is in essentially as-issued condition, easily Near-Mint to Mint or better, with exceptional color and gloss. With Donruss proving itself prescient and perhaps a bit early presaging the growth and expansion of the PGA, producing a tremendously important and truly iconic issue, littered with names of the greatest players of the era, including: Jack Nicklaus, Tom Kite, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, Bruce Lietzke, Fred Couples, Tom Weiskopf, Curtis Strange, Craig Stadler, Ray Floyd, Bill Rogers, Jerry Pate, Hale Irwin, Larry Nelson, Johnny Miller, David Graham, Bobby Clampett, Jay Haas, Gil Morgan, Fuzzy Zoeller, Keith Fergus, Lon Hinkle, John Mahaffey, John Cook, JC Snead, Tom Purtzer, Peter Oosterhuis, Ron Streck, Andy North, Hubert Green, Scott Simpson, Andy Bean, Ed Fiori, George Burns, Jim Colbert, Leonard Thompson, Mike Sullivan, Dan Pohl, Calvin Peete, Mike Reid, DA Weiberg, Mark Hayes, Bob Murphy, Peter Jacobsen, Mark O'Meara, Mark Lyle, Don Pooley, Roger Maltbie and Bob Gilder.
