Marking history: Notable commemorative golf plaques

When something historic happens in golf, it’s not long before the details are etched on a plaque to commemorate the moment.

Golfers love their history.

So when something historic happens in a tournament, it’s not long before the details are etched on a plaque, which is then placed in the ground, preserving the story and re-telling it for years to come.

Jack Nicklaus has a few of these commemorative plaques. So does Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and, of course, Tiger Woods.

Tiger’s crazy bunker shot from the 2019 WGC-Mexico Championship is now memorialized. It’s just one of the more recent additions to the collection of plaques at golf courses around the world.

Here’s a closer look at some of them. Check ’em out.
