1989 Ryder Cup at The Belfry Original Trophy Awarded to PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman
Simply splendid in every last detail this Ryder Cup trophy belongs to Deane Beman who oversaw these matches as Commissioner of the PGA Tour (1974-1994). The 1989 Ryder Cup matches saw, for only the second time in the history of the biennial matches, the proceedings completed in halved fashion. Per tradition members of the winning Ryder Cup squad receive slightly scaled down replica trophies to commemorate their victory, in this case each squad received awards. The trophy stands 12" tall with a diameter of 4.5" and measures 6" from handle to handle. A sterling silver plaque wraps around the base (or plinth), displaying the engraved signatures of the United States team: Paul Azinger, Chip Beck, Mark Calcavecchia, Fred Couples, Ken Green, Tom Kite, Mark McCumber, Mark O'Meara, Payne Stewart, Curtis Strange, Lanny Wadkins, Tom Watson and team captain Ray Floyd. The Belfry / 1989 is also engraved on this band. With remarkable display quality this award of achievement features a beautiful gold plated chalice with removable lid that bears a figural golfer which bears a close resemblance to British professional Abe Mitchell. Manufactured by "JB London" with that company's hallmark appearing on the band. With its every element intact and finery retaining its definition and lustrous glow, this trophy is unrivaled in terms of Ryder Cup prizes. This rarefied offering of an official 1989 Ryder Cup trophy (with less then 40 of these crafted), is deserving of even the most elite collection.
