ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (August 2, 2016) - The World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum announced today it will stage its 2017 Induction Ceremony on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 in New York City in conjunction with the Presidents Cup to be played at nearby Liberty National Golf Club. Venue details as well as the Induction Class of 2017 will be announced later this fall.
“The addition of the World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony enhances what will already be an exciting Presidents Cup week,” said Tim Finchem, PGA TOUR Commissioner and Chairman of the World Golf Foundation Board of Directors.
“The opportunity to align the biennial Induction Ceremony with the Presidents Cup in one of the most vibrant cities in the world is thoroughly in line with our objective to raise the profile of the institution,” said Jack Peter, President of the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum. “The Presidents Cup captures a robust international audience, and we look forward to kicking off the week’s celebrations with the enshrinement of another deserving Induction Class."
Last summer the Induction Ceremony was staged the week of the 144th Open Championship in historic St Andrews, Scotland, where Dame Laura Davies, David Graham, Mark O’Meara and the late A.W. Tillinghast were enshrined.
