- 01/01/2006 — Ryder Cup 2006 (register-of-tartans, record)
Designed by Brian Wilton of the Scottish Tartans Authority for the PGA Wentworth (Professional Golfers' Association) through Proquip Ltd. In 1926, St. Albans seed merchant Samuel Ryder - a keen golfer - set up a competition between American and British players. His golfing mentor was Abe Mitchell and Sam Ryder insisted that the gold figure atop the Ryder trophy should be modelled on Abe. This tartan is therefore based on the Mitchell tartan with dark green for the fairways and light green for the greens. - 2006 January — Ryder Cup 2006 (Sports) (tartans-authority, record)
