Offered here is a truly significant autographed 1929 Ryder Cup display. The Ryder Cup was held for only the 2nd time in 1929, and the teams assembled were among the greatest of all-time. This piece includes autographs of every single American Team member, including Captain Walter Hagen. It also includes almost every British Team member, including Captain George Duncan. The autographs are a Who's Who of golfing legends from the 1920s, including Walter Hagen, Horton Smith, Johnny Farrell, Gene Sarazen, Joe Turnesa, Ed Dudley, Al Watrous, and Leo Diegel, as well as British Team members including Henry Cotton, Abe Mitchell, George Duncan, and Archie Compston. 

How impressive were these teams? Seven of these golfers won Major Championships. In fact, they won 27 Majors combined. Even better, the U.S. Team autograph page also contains an original signature of Jim Barnes. Adding his 4 Majors, that's 31 Major Championships represented in this one display.

This extraordinary 1929 Ryder Cup piece is framed (without glass) to 22 3/4" x 42 1/2".
