Rare 1997 Ryder Cup Wine Bottle

Presented to 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.

        Presented here is an actual United States team-issued wine bottle from the 1997 Ryder Cup. This 14 year old wine bottle is still full and in remarkable condition. It was presented to Justin Leonard at the 1997 Ryder Cup Matches at Valderrama in Spain, and comes from the private collection of Justin Leonard's longtime caddie Bob Riefke.
