Tracey Stewart, the widow of PGA Tour golfer Payne Stewart, is selling more than 200 items from her late husband’s personal collection on The Golf Auction, available now through March 14th.
Stewart died in a plane crash in 1999 at the age of 42. Tracey and her two children, Aaron and Chelsea, survived. The family now shares some golf artifacts that they have held onto since Stewart’s death.
“So many people have made an effort over the years to share how much Payne has affected their lives or the lives of loved ones,” Tracey said in a statement. “I’m excited to share these articles as a reminder of how much Payne played golf, but even more how much he enjoyed people. I hope these become precious memorabilia that inspire people in the same way and encourage how Payne lived his life. “”
Some of the items for sale include Stewart’s badges from the 1999 US Open at Pinehurst, where Stewart made a 15-foot putt on the 18th hole on Sunday to win the tournament. His celebration pose is anchored in Pinehurst with a life-size bronze statue on the property.
