Other. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. 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. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.

As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
