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.
