Official Team Signed 1999 Ryder Cup Poster

w/ Tiger Woods and Justin Leonard

The Justin Leonard Collection

        In this auction, we are very pleased to offer some incredible pieces of golf memorabilia from Justin Leonard's longtime caddie, Bob Riefke. When we first spoke with Riefke, he shared with us a treasure trove of memorabilia obtained during his many years "inside the ropes." Now, Riefke has decided that these great items will be better appreciated by collectors across the world.

        The 1999 Ryder Cup is far and away the most famous (and, therefore, collectible) Ryder Cup tournament in recent memory. The United States team faced a seemingly insurmountable deficit going into the Sunday matches. Everyone knows how this story ends - Justin Leonard sunk a 45-foot putt to win the Ryder Cup for the Americans.

        Presented here is the actual team signed official poster that was presented to Justin Leonard at the 1999 Ryder Cup. The entire United States team has signed this rare poster, including Tiger Woods, Captain Ben Crenshaw and, yes, the hero of the day, Justin Leonard. 

        This great piece comes with a letter of authenticity from Justin Leonard's longtime caddie, Bob Riefke.
