There’s Hollins’ locker key from Pasatiempo (numbered 1, of course), a copy of Pasatiempo’s original bylaws and a bronzed scorecard from the course’s opening-day exhibition on Sept. 8, 1929, which Bobby Jones won with a 75. Finchem donated everything from a knife set given to him at the 2004 Ryder Cup to signed letters from presidents and golf legends like Jack Nicklaus.
Woods contributed dozens of items, dating back to his earliest days. Visitors will recognize many of them. There are trophies from his wins in all four majors – three from 2000, including record-setting U.S. Open and Open Championship victories, and his 1997 Masters trophy – as well as the 2019 ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP, where he tied Sam Snead’s PGA TOUR wins record. The red mock turtleneck that Woods wore during his win at the 2019 Masters and his credential from that week now reside at the World Golf Hall of Fame, as well, along with several clubs and items of clothings.
Some of the oldest items are the most interesting, though. Woods’ life has been well-documented, but some of this memorabilia is from a time before he became a worldwide celebrity. These items shed light on little-known stories about his life. After all his success, it’s amazing that much of this memorabilia wasn't discarded years ago.
Among the surprising items now at the World Golf Hall of Fame is a photo from the pro-am of the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open, signed by both Woods and fellow TOUR player Duffy Waldorf. The everyday amateurs who were paired with Waldorf that Wednesday were treated to a second pro in their group, one who was just days removed from his own amateur career.
