Padraig Harrington: The Latest World Golf Hall-of-Fame Inductee

Posted by EyePromise on Jun 12th 2024

Over the last few years, EyePromise has grown in the world of golf. We’re thrilled by the progress we’ve made thus far, but it’d be remiss if we didn’t look back on all the hard work that has gotten us here. This same ideal reigns true for the selection committee of the World Golf Hall of Fame, as they look at past performances to determine which golfers to induct.

The 2024 Induction Ceremony

For the 2024 Induction Ceremony, EyePromise is proud to share that our ambassador, Padraig Harrington, joined the list of elite names in the World Golf Hall of Fame. On Monday, June 10, 2024, the Selection and Nominee committees welcomed the new inductees at their new facility called the USGA Pinehurst Golf House in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The ceremony was aired on the Golf Channel starting at 7:00 PM ET.

Other golfers inducted in this year’s celebration include Sandra Palmer, the late Johnny Farrell, Beverly Hanson, Tom Weiskopf, as well as the LPGA Founders:

  • Alice Bauer
  • Patty Berg
  • Bettye Danoff
  • Helen Dettweiler
  • Marlene Bauer Hagge

  • Opal Hill
  • Betty Jameson
  • Sally Sessions
  • Marilynn Smith
  • Shirley Spork
  • Louise Suggs
  • Babe Zaharias

The World Golf Hall of Fame

The World Golf Hall of Fame is unique in the sense that it honors the accomplishments of both male and female golfers. It’s supported by over 25 national and international golf organizations, and there are elections held every other year for inductees. In previous years, the World Golf Hall of Fame was located at World Golf Village between Jacksonville and St. Augustine, FL, until it moved to its new facility that opened earlier this year.
