Man charged with illegal transport of Masters merchandise, memorabilia taken from Augusta National

Richard Globensky was charged with transporting millions of dollars worth of stolen merch over a 13-year period.

Masters merchandise is some of the most coveted gear in the sports world, and it’s got one man in some potentially hot water.

According to a Tuesday filing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Richard Globensky has been charged with transporting millions of dollars worth of Masters merchandise and memorabilia over a 13-year period from 2009-2022 from Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia across state lines to Tampa, Florida, “knowing the same had been stolen, converted and taken by fraud.”

If convicted, Globensky would forfeit any property and cash from proceeds traced to the stolen items. Augusta National has yet to comment on the case.

Last weekend saw Scottie Scheffler win his second Masters in three years by four shots over Ludvig Aberg in the 88th playing of the annual event.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2024 merch: Retro T’s, lone cypress logo in hot demand

Check out the best merch here.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Pebble Beach Golf Links’s lone cypress logo is one of the best in the business.

The resort and the shops near the practice putting green are well aware that the logo is in hot demand and you have an endless array of options of logoed gear from just about any apparel maker you can think of. This is a well-stocked space and there’s also a pop-up AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am shop to go with a merchandise shop near the 17th hole.

The Lone Cypress Shop has just about everything, including the robe available in guest rooms at The Lodge and Pebble Beach spa products. I was digging some of the retro T-shirts, Vineyard Vines belts, the stuffed animal seal for my daughter and an old-school tournament pennant, which I haven’t seen for a long time.

Here’s a look at some of the merchandise on display this week at The Lone Cypress Shop and pop-up tournament shop at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
