A former warehouse coordinator for Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia is set to plead guilty next month in federal court in Chicago tohe stole millions of dollars in Masters Tournament memorabilia over a 13-year period and transported it to Florida for resale, court records show.
Globensky’s Atlanta-based attorney, Thomas Church, has not responded to emails and phone calls seeking comment. Globensky had worked for years as the warehouse coordinator at Augusta National, overseeing all sorts of the private, for-for profit club’s Masters memorabilia, a source with knowledge of the case said.
Real estate records show Globensky and his wife sold their lavish home in nearby Evans, Georgia, for just over $2 million last year, a year after the alleged scheme ended. The six-bedroom, 7,300-square-foot home featured an in-ground pool and outdoor putting green. Augusta is also very protective of official memorabilia, particularly the prized green jacket, which it began awarding to Masters champions in 1949.
