An ex-employee of Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia has been charged in federal court in Chicago with stealing millions of dollars in Masters Tournament memorabilia over a 13-year period and taking it to Florida.
The charges allege that between 2009 and 2022, Globensky moved “millions of dollars’ worth of Masters golf tournament merchandise and historical memorabilia” taken from Augusta National “and transported to Tampa, Florida, knowing the same had been stolen, converted and taken by fraud.” A private, for-profit club, Augusta National was founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts in 1932 and has hosted the Masters since 1934. The club is notoriously strict with its rules and is known to ban scofflaws for infractions like running on the course or using a cell phone.
