Justin Rose Reunited With 2002 British Masters Trophy After Friends Buy It at Auction

The return of the original cup honors the lone pro win his father lived to see.

Overview

  • Rose, who shared a video on X on Sunday, said the surprise left him “lost for words” as he held the Victor Chandler British Masters trophy.
  • Two close friends spotted the original trophy at auction and bought it for him after he had never received a replica of that limited design.
  • The silverware marks his 2002 win at Woburn by one shot over Ian Poulter at 19 under in a tournament his father followed despite leukemia.
  • Ken Rose died later in 2002, and the recovered cup now sits beside a trophy he won at 17 in his son's widely seen home display.
  • The moment also refreshed focus on Justin Rose’s record, which includes the 2013 U.S. Open and a January win at Torrey Pines for about 30 worldwide titles.
