Tiger Woods' Actual

1999 Ryder Cup Caddie Bib

BRUCE EDWARDS COLLECTION

        In this auction, we have the privilege of offering several important items from the personal collection of the late Bruce Edwards. Bruce Edwards was one of the most beloved caddies of all-time, famously caddying for Tom Watson and Greg Norman before succumbing to Lou Gehrig's disease in 2004.

        This is the actual caddie bib that was issued to Tiger Woods and worn by his caddie Steve Williams in one of the most famous golf tournaments of all-time, the 1999 Ryder Cup. Tiger gave this caddie bib to the late Bruce Edwards, who was assisting the U.S. Team at the invitation of Captain Ben Crenshaw.

        Tiger signed his caddie bib with a huge autograph and the notation "To Bruce, Thanks for all of your support. You're the best!!"

        Tournament-used items from Tiger Woods never become available for sale, with the exception of the limited number of pieces that he's contractually obligated to give to Upper Deck each year and which all command prices between $10,000-$25,000. But in our opinion, the offered piece is far more historically significant than almost any Tiger Woods item that has come before it.
