Payne Stewart's Official 1993 PGA Tour Member Card - Signed

Signed by Payne in blue ballpoint pen below his embossed first and last name is Stewart's Official 1993 PGA Tour Member Card presented in this lot. Exhibiting heavy usage from transportation and displaying at each and every tournament, this card caries the PGA Tour logo, along with the 'Player's Card' designation and area for the Member's Signature. Gaining and obtaining a PGA Tour card is a goal shared by all in professional golf that is earned and certainly not given. The job stability with continued success on the tour and achievement often refers to this card, a tangible one once used by Payne Stewart during the 1993 season. The reverse has the facsimile signature of then PGA Tour Commissioner Deane R. Beman along with the TPC Sawgrass contact information. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.

The Payne Stewart Collection

"Over the years so many people have reached out to share how much Payne impacted their lives or the lives of their loved ones. I am pleased to share these items as a reminder of how much Payne enjoyed golf, but even more, how much he enjoyed people. I hope these will become treasured mementos that will inspire and encourage people the way Payne did in his life.” - Tracey Stewart

Many in the golf community are familiar with Payne Stewart and his accolades: 1989 PGA Champion at Kemper Lakes, 1991 US Open Champion at Hazeltine and 1999 US Open Champion at Pinehurst. The 11-time PGA Tour winner was also a passionate member of five United States Ryder Cup Teams. Likely coming to mind first is Stewart's 1999 US Open at Pinehurst victorious fist pump pose on one foot, an iconic moment in professional golf history that has been made fittingly into a larger-than-life bronze statue that resides at Pinehurst. The gentleman that was known to take chances with knickers and a matching golf shirt has left us all with memories.

Blonde haired, blue eyed Payne Stewart had it all - charisma, dazzle, passion and the ability to handle the immense pressure on the course. With those characteristics in mind, the PGA Tour's 'Payne Stewart Award' is given annually to a player whose "values align with the character, charity and sportsmanship that Stewart showed." Later in his career he publicly stressed how important family was to him. "You're going to love being a father!" Stewart cupped 1999 US Open runner-up Phil Mickelson's face during the emotional finish at Pinehurst. It is now Payne Stewart's family, Tracey and children Aaron and Chelsea's wishes to share his collection with the public through The Golf Auction's offering. Stewart's relics will soon become cherished cornerstone pieces of curated, esteemed collections around the world, tangible memorabilia carrying on the legacy of the ever-popular Payne Stewart for many generations to come. Following the well received March Auction offering, we are pleased to present the remaining collectibles at this time.
