Golfers cherish the history of the sport, and when a historic moment occurs during a tournament, it is often commemorated with a plaque to preserve the story for years to come. Legendary golfers like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy all have commemorative plaques dedicated to their iconic moments on various golf courses around the world.
For instance, at TPC Sawgrass, a plaque honoring golf course designer Pete Dye was unveiled during the first round of the 2020 Players Championship. The Hogan Bridge at Augusta National Golf Club, dedicated to Ben Hogan’s 1953 Masters victory, also features a plaque commemorating his achievements.
At Torrey Pines, a plaque honors Tiger Woods’ remarkable putt on the 72nd hole of the 2008 U.S. Open. In addition, there are plaques marking significant shots by golfers like Robert Gamez, Andrew Magee, and Dave Stockton at various tournaments.
These plaques serve as a historical record of the memorable moments and achievements in the world of golf, ensuring that the stories are preserved and retold for generations to come.
