World Golf Hall of Fame

The World Golf Hall of Fame is a museum in St. Johns County, Florida, that presents memorabilia, awards, and interactive exhibits about international golfers. The complex includes several galleries, a theater, and a practice facility for golfers of all levels.

The institution started in 1974 through an initiative by several golfers and moved to its current site near major golf courses in 1998. Over time the organization opened to players from all countries, reflecting the sport's growth across continents.

The name refers to the global community of golfers who have competed in tournaments for more than a century. Visitors see trophies and clothing once worn by champions, along with club sets from different countries and decades.

The complex offers guided tours that let visitors explore the collections with background information. Those who want to play can find a golf academy on site with instructors and practice areas for beginners and advanced players.

The institution works with 26 international golf organizations to gather honors and archive material from around the world. Men and women are inducted using the same criteria, which broadens the range of careers on display.
