The 2002 U.S. Open Golf Tournament was played in Farmingdale, New York on the Bethpage State Park, Black Course. Logo pins for the event began to surface well in advance (a good 9+ months prior). A major change was made that make earlier versions of the pin much more desirable.
At first, the pins initially released featured the skyline of New York City in the background. Both of the World Trade Center Twin Towers can be seen.
After the events of September 11, 2001 the decision to stop selling this pin was made. A new pin emerged which lacked the city skyline.
Earlier pins that contain both World Trade Center Twin Towers carry a hefty premium.
