Far Hills, N.J. – We’re opening the doors to the new Arnold Palmer Center for Golf History in just a couple short months. It’s been three years of intense work, with a tremendous effort put forth by every individual on the project team. We’ll soon have a state-of-the-art facility that will allow us to better care for the USGA’s impressive collections of historical memorabilia. We’ll also have a new research center, new storage areas, and new exhibition galleries where we will display hundreds of artifacts that have never before been shared with our visitors.

For more than 50 years, since he won his first USGA national championship at the Country Club of Detroit in the 1954 U.S. Amateur, Arnold Palmer has been a friend to the USGA. He’s the only individual to serve as National Chairman of our Members program. And for more than 30 years he’s supported our efforts as a trusted member of the USGA Museum Committee.
