10 of the best historical Ryder Cup-themed apparel and memorabilia finds

Published

on

Ryder Cup pandemonium is about to kick in, and there’s plenty of fun souvenirs that golf fans can get their hands on before it all begins.

With just over a week to go until the main event gets underway, we thought we’d take a look at some of the coolest, and rarest, Ryder Cup-themed memorabilia out there.

2018 Ryder Cup 16oz. Pint Glass

Why not start with a product from the 2018 Ryder Cup collection? Featuring the official Ryder Cup logo and the name of the host course, this pint glass is perfect for sipping on a few cold ones while enjoying the three days of action. You can pick one up here.

2014 USA Ryder Cup Team Sweaters

Well, the 2014 Ryder Cup was a bit of a disaster for Team U.S.A, but these Ralph Lauren sweaters featuring the flag of the United States were a success. Even as a European I wanted one. I think I still want one.

1997 Ryder Cup ball markers, pitch repairer, golf tees from Valderrama 

The 1997 Ryder Cup was yet another classic, and this little golf set which is available for under $25, is a nice souvenir for both fans of the Ryder Cup and the great Seve Ballesteros, who captained Team Europe to a memorable victory that year. Check it out here.

1987 Ryder Cup Money Clip

Stepping back in time, this gold money clip featuring details from the 1987 Ryder Cup is an eye catcher, and it’s available here on eBay (Although it’s not exactly cheap!).

2016 Ryder Cup Hazeltine Collector Edition Knit Golf Covers

The 2016 Ryder Cup was a blowout win for the U.S. team, and although most die-hard U.S. fans won’t exactly be rushing to buy Ryder Cup memorabilia from the 21st century, these driver and hybrid headcovers are a definite winner. Check them out here.

2010 Scotty Cameron Ryder Cup Team Europe Blade Putter Headcover

The detail of this headcover is a piece of art. Featuring the European flag and the Welsh dragon, this putter headcover from Titleist is a must for any European fan feeling nostalgic over that victory at Celtic Manor. Available on eBay here.

1995 Ryder Cup Oak Hill Golf Visor Hat

Heres’ another item for the Europeans. Golf visors are quite retro on their own these days, and this visor comes from the 1995 Ryder Cup, which was the first time Europe recovered from a deficit heading into the singles action to win the cup. One of the cheaper selections on this list, you can find it here.

1991 Ryder Cup Programme

The 1991 Ryder Cup, nicknamed ‘The War On The Shore’, was one of the most intense Ryder Cups of all time. This mint condition programme would fit nicely into anyone’s Ryder Cup collection, but especially those from the U.S., whose side triumphed that year. Available here.

2012 Ryder Cup DVD: The Miracle At Medinah

Not exactly rare, but all Team Europe supporters will likely want to re-watch this classic contest at some point in the future. Easy to find and under $10 too.

1999 U.S. Ryder Cup Shirt

I’ve saved the best for last. This shirt will forever be remembered for what is arguably the most well known Ryder Cup moment, Justin Leonard draining a monster putt to set off wild celebrations from Team U.S.A. The shirt, although hideous, is a collectors dream with only 99 in existence. If you manage to stumble upon one, then thank your lucky stars, as earlier this year someone paid almost $4,000 for one. Just let that sink in.
