The United States Golf Association and the World Golf Hall of Fame announced that the World Golf Hall of Fame will be moved to Pinehurst.
"North Carolina is home to legendary golf courses and it makes perfect sense to have The World Golf Hall of Fame here in Pinehurst," Governor Roy Cooper said. “Golf brings communities together, increases tourism and creates good jobs, and I’m excited to continue working with the USGA to grow the game and our economy here in North Carolina.”
The World Golf Hall of Fame was founded in Pinehurst in 1942 and the new home of the World Golf Hall of Fame is set to open in 2024.
“There’s no better connection to golf’s past, present and future than Pinehurst, and no organization that works harder than the USGA to preserve the history of this great game. We look forward to celebrating the greatest moments, and golf’s greatest athletes, by including the World Golf Hall of Fame as an important part of our new Pinehurst home,” said Mike Whan, CEO of the USGA.
Pinehurst will also host the 2023 U.S. Adaptive Open in July and five future U.S. Open Championships between 2024 and 2047.
“We’re proud to be a part of the U.S. Golf Association’s continued growth and preservation of the game of golf’s long legacy here in North Carolina,” said North Carolina Department of Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders. “USGA’s investment in Pinehurst means new jobs and millions in tourism dollars for the region and state for generations to come.”
In the press release, it states that a 2017 study showed that golf generated $2.3 billion dollars in direct spending and a total economic impact of $4.2 billion in the state, including 53,000 jobs and a wage income of $1.3 billion dollars.
