PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame
Originated in 1940, at the suggestion of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice, the PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame was relocated to the PGA Historical Center in 2005.
The Hall of Fame recognizes all PGA members who have made significant and lasting contributions to the building of The PGA of America and the game of golf.
The inductees include PGA Presidents, PGA Golf Professional of the Year award winners as well as those PGA Professionals who also distinguished themselves as competitors while in service to The PGA of America.
