On October 25, 1999, the golfing world was shocked by the tragic death of Payne Stewart. The American golfer, known for his distinctive knickers and flat cap, was killed when his plane crashed in South Dakota.

Payne Stewart was a beloved figure in the world of golf, known for his charismatic personality and skill on the course. He won 11 PGA Tour events, including three major championships - the PGA Championship in 1989 and the U.S. Open in 1991 and 1999. Stewart was also a member of five Ryder Cup teams and played a key role in the United States' victory in 1999.
