Tiger Woods is back to hunting down golf trophies, just not on the course.
The 82-time winner on the PGA Tour and 15-time major champion shared on Twitter that he’s seeking out his favorite trophies for his World Golf Hall of Fame exhibit and included a photo of his 1996 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year hardware.
It was 25 years ago that Woods stormed on the professional scene, winning two events in his first full season on Tour. Woods claimed the five-round Las Vegas Invitational at 27 under after a playoff with Davis Love III and two weeks later took home the Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic at 21 under, one stroke ahead of Payne Stewart.
I was trophy hunting trying to pick out some favorites for my Hall of Fame exhibit and found this guy. Excited to see it all come together soon. pic.twitter.com/MNPK7Q7iTt

The World Golf Hall of Fame announced in December of 2020 that the induction ceremony for the 2021 class would be postponed to March 9, 2022 during the week of the Players Championship. Joining Woods in the hall will be four-time major champion and 11-time LPGA winner Susie Maxwell Berning, former PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem and female golf pioneer Marion Hollins (posthumously), bringing the total member total to 164.
