The World Golf Hall of Fame has relocated to Pinehurst, North Carolina, at USGA’s Golf House Pinehurst.
It opened to the public this week as the 124th U.S. Open descended on the Village of Pinehurst.
The HOF, was previously located in St. Augustine, Florida, but that location closed last August after a 25-year run that included 16 induction ceremonies, 76 new members, special exhibits honoring the game’s greatest players, entertainers and U.S. Presidents.
The new location has received items such as Gene Sarazen’s 1922 PGA Championship and 1935 Masters Championship trophies; Jack Nicklaus’ MacGregor bag from his 1965 Masters victory; Johnny Miller’s clubs, ball and gold medal from the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont (where he shot a record 63 in the final round); Seve Ballesteros’ wedge he used when he won the first of his five majors at the 1979 Open Championship; and the shirt worn by Annika Sorenstam when she became the first woman to play in a PGA Tour event at the 2003 Colonial.
The facility features nearly 3,000 artifacts in all, showcasing the most accomplished and influential figures in the game.
