It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag must have an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.

This was originally published in 1931; if published without a copyright notice, or the copyright was not actively renewed with the U.S. copyright office in 1959 (quite likely), then copyright would have expired and it would be in the public domain. This is difficult to ascertain though.

[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for 1931 Ryder Cup
Description	This is a logo for the 1931 Ryder Cup.
Source	The logo is from the www.sciotocc.com website.Direct image URL [3].
Article	1931 Ryder Cup
Portion used	The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	The image is used to identify the 1931 Ryder Cup golf tournament, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the event, assure the reader they have reached the right article about the event, and illustrate the tournament's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.
Replaceable?	Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	This is probably public domain, as even if published with a copyright notice originally, copyright would have been needed to be renewed in 1959, which seems unlikely for an event program. However, a copyright renewal search would need to be done to confirm this.
