This Lot is Part of the Donnie Wanstall Collection.

The Golf Auction is excited to have been selected to auction off the Donnie Wanstall collection. Donnie was a PGA Tour caddy for many years carrying the bag for such major champions as Mark O'Meara, Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, and top PGA pros such as John Cook, Tom Purtzer and others. Donnie is a member of the Professional Caddies Association and was on the bag for 14 PGA tour wins and several Ryder Cup victories. In 1994 Donnie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the Players Championship.

His collection was amassed over many years of collecting items while on Tour as well as the kindness of many of his PGA friends and players. In 1994 there was a famous fundraising auction that netted over $150,000 for Donnie and helped to establish the formation of the Caddies Assistance Fund. At that auction PGA players such as Payne Stewart and others took the microphone to help auction off memorabilia to support the cause. Since then, Mark O'Meara has also been of assistance to Donnie in seeing that Tiger Woods autographed items from his major victories. Many of these items are up for bid, please select the Donnie Wanstall collection link on the left hand side of the page. All of these items come from Donnie directly with the items and autographs being directly obtained by him.

The Golf Auction wishes to be a part of the fight to find a cure for MS and will donate five percent (5%) of the gross sale price realized from the Wanstall collection to multiple sclerosis research.
