1997 Ryder Cup Johnnie Walker Promotional Cap

This 1997 Ryder Cup cap was produced as a Johnnie Walker promotional piece, built in lightweight black cotton with a simple six-panel design and flat front. The front embroidery features the Ryder Cup logo paired with Johnnie Walker branding in gold thread, a clean detail that pops against the all-black build. A soft crown, unstructured fit, and Velcro strap at the back give it a casual, easygoing feel. It’s not the most premium construction, but it wears light and comfortable for everyday use.

The ’97 Ryder Cup at Valderrama was historic - the first time the tournament was played in continental Europe, remembered for Seve Ballesteros’ leadership and a narrow European victory. This cap may not be a high-end Glenmuir piece, but as a promotional item tied to that milestone event, it has its own charm. It speaks to the era of bold sponsorships and accessible fan gear, making it an affordable way to own a slice of Ryder Cup history.
