The federal government has charged a man who it says moved millions of dollars worth of stolen merchandise and memorabilia from Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, for more than a dozen years.
Richard Brendan Globensky is accused of transporting and transferring goods from 2009 until about 2022, according to federal charging documents. Federal prosecutors say that Globensky transported millions of dollars worth of Masters golf tournament merchandise and historical memorabilia from Augusta, Georgia, to Tampa, Florida. The government argues that Globensky knew the items were stolen when he transported them.
Globensky’s arraignment and change of plea hearing is set for May 15th in federal court in Illinois. The charge comes days after Scottie Scheffler secured his second title at the 2024 Masters Tournament — and once again the merch shop was a big part of the “tradition unlike any other.” Attending the Masters is a one-in-a-lifetime experience for many golf enthusiasts, and Augusta National has many restrictions when it comes to purchasing merchandise and memorabilia.
