Frisco, Texas, United States: The PGA of America has announced the six inductees of the 2023 PGA of America Hall of Fame Class: Robert Dolan; Don Wegrzyn; Herb Wimberly; PGA Past President Suzy Whaley; LPGA legend Kathy Whitworth; and CBS Sports’ Jim Nantz.

The 2023 Class will be inducted at the 107th PGA Annual Meeting during a special ceremony on November 8 at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort.

The PGA of America Hall of Fame originated in 1940 at the suggestion of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice to honour and recognise individuals who through their lives, careers, service and support have made significant and enduring contributions to the PGA of America in its mission to grow the game of golf.

It is the highest honour that the PGA of America can bestow upon its membership or ambassadors of the game.

The 2023 PGA of America Hall of Fame Inductees fall under four induction categories: PGA of America Golf Professional Category (Dolan, Wegrzyn, Wimberly); PGA of America Past President Category (Whaley); Tour Player Professional Category (Whitworth); and PGA of America Ambassador Category (Nantz).

“It is an incredible honour for the PGA of America to recognise and celebrate our six inductees who have made a real impact on the game of golf and the countless individuals they’ve inspired along the way,” said John Lindert, President at the PGA of America, an Executive Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“Whether they proudly wear the PGA of America logo in their daily efforts, or have inspired golfers nationwide through their voice with continuous support of not only the sport, but the PGA of America, we honour their contributions to this great game we all love,” added Lindert, PGA Director of Golf at The Country Club of Lansing in Michigan.
