EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon captures the essence of Samuel Ryder, a remarkable entrepreneur, golf enthusiast, and the visionary founder of the Ryder Cup. Drawn in 1931 by an unidentified artist for the Illustrated London News (ILN), this charming caricature showcases Ryder's distinctive figure with his signature monocle, bowler hat, and golf clubs. Samuel Ryder, born in 1853, was a self-made millionaire from England, known for his success in the seed trade industry. His passion for golf was unparalleled, and he was a prominent figure in the golfing world. In 1927, Ryder established the Ryder Cup, an international golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States. The event was inspired by Ryder's friendly wager with an American golfer, A.S. "Sam" Walker, and has since grown into one of the most prestigious team events in golf. The cartoon beautifully encapsulates Ryder's spirit and personality, as he is depicted with a determined look, poised over a golf ball, and ready to take on the challenge. The background features the iconic trophy that bears his name, the Ryder Cup, further emphasizing his significant contribution to the sport. This cartoon is a testament to Ryder's enduring legacy in golf and his indelible mark on the sport's history. The 1930s, a decade marked by economic instability and social change, saw Ryder's vision come to life, bringing together golfers from both sides of the Atlantic in friendly competition and camaraderie.
