[Golf Topic] Woods: "Hall of Fame Induction Will Be in the Year After Next~" View original image


[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…The induction ceremony for the "Returned Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods (USA, photo) into the World Golf Hall of Fame has been postponed by one year.


According to the Associated Press on the 9th (Korean time), "The World Golf Hall of Fame has postponed the 2021 March event to March 2022." This is due to the recent spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States. Woods had already qualified last March. With 15 major wins, and notably reaching Sam Snead's PGA Tour record for most wins (82 wins) at the Zozo Championship last October, he set a new milestone in the global golf community.



Greg McLoughlin, CEO of the World Golf Foundation, said, "By postponing the event by one year amid the uncertainties caused by COVID-19, the achievements of the inductees will shine even brighter, and we hope that young golf aspirants will be more inspired." On March 10, 2022, Susie Maxwell Berning, who has 11 wins on the LPGA Tour including 4 majors, former PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, and the late architect Marion Hollins, who led women's sports, will be inducted together.
