2002 Ryder Cup Autographed Banner

This 2002 Ryder Cup Banner has been signed by all members of the U.S & European teams as well as the team captains!

The 34th Ryder Cup Matches were held 27–29 September 2002 in England, on the Brabazon Course at The Belfry in Wishaw, Warwickshire. The event was originally scheduled for 28–30 September 2001 but was postponed for a year on 16 September following the September 11 attacks. "The PGA of America has informed the European Ryder Cup Board that the scope of the last Tuesday's tragedy is so overwhelming that it would not be possible for the United States Ryder Cup team and officials to attend the match this month." The manager of Phil Mickelson and Mark Calcavecchia had earlier announced that the two players would not travel to Europe for the event. Other American players were said to be concerned about attending the event. It was agreed that the same captains and players would participate in the 2002 event. The European team won the competition by a margin of 15½ to 12½, the largest margin of victory in the Ryder Cup since the European team won 16½ to 11½ in 1985, also played at The Belfry.

The banner has been signed by:
U.S. Team: Chad Campbell, Stewart Cink, Chris DeMarco, Fred Funk, Jim Furyk, Jay Haas, Davis Love III, Phil Mickelson, Kenny Perry, Chris Riley, David Toms, Tiger Woods and team captain Hal Sutton.

European Team: Paul McGinley, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, Paul Casey, Darren Clarke, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, David Howell, Miguel Angel Jiminez, Thomas Lever and team captain Bernhard Langer.
