Justin Leonard's Actual 1999 Ryder Cup

Yardage Book with 17th Green Notes!

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 certainly one of the most incredible 1999 Ryder Cup items that we have ever seen - the actual Caddie Yardage Book from the caddie of Ryder Cup hero Justin Leonard. This historic piece of memorabilia is the actual yardage book used by Justin Leonard and his caddie Bob Riefke throughout the 1999 Ryder Cup Matches. Most significantly, it even includes Riefke's handwritten notes from the site of Justin Leonard's historic putt on the 17th green!

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