What's New at the World Golf Hall of Fame

When you visit the World Golf Hall of Fame, you will never know what you will see around the next corner. Special exhibits are planned throughout the year and new items are added on a regular basis giving you a reason to return again and again.

New Jack Nicklaus Exhibit Artifacts:

The third quarterly rotation of golf artifacts were recently placed in the “Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion” exhibition. These new items, which are scheduled to on display through August, include the set of MacGregor VIP irons Nicklaus used to win the 1976 PLAYERS Championship, the second of his record three titles in the event (1974, 1978).

Joining those irons is another significant club in Nicklaus' run to his record 18 majors. The World Golf Hall of Fame is also showcasing the MacGregor Tommy Armour 945W driver Nicklaus used to win four major championships – the 1978 Open Championship, the 1980 U.S. Open and PGA Championship, and the 1986 Masters.
