Justin Rose Reunited With Original 2002 British Masters Trophy After Friends’ Auction Buy

The rare 2002 trophy revives the only professional win his father witnessed in person.

Overview

  • Rose shared a social video Sunday on X revealing that two close friends secretly bought the original Victor Chandler British Masters trophy at auction and surprised him.
  • Calling himself lost for words, he said the win was the only one his late father saw and he placed the trophy beside one his dad won at age 17.
  • Rose noted there were only four editions of that specific trophy design and he never received a replica from the event.
  • The trophy represents his 2002 victory at Woburn, where he beat Ian Poulter by one shot, and his father died later that year.
  • Reports tied the personal moment to his current run, with Rose fresh off TGL duty and a January win at Torrey Pines as he enters a busy spring schedule.
