The PGA Historical Center ~ PGA History


You are steps away from viewing one of the most treasured prizes in all of sports. Now on display at the PGA Historical Center, the Ryder Cup trophy made its triumphant return to U.S. soil in September 2008, when the U.S. Ryder Cup Team defeated Europe, 16 ½ - 11 ½, at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, KY.

In addition to the Ryder Cup, the PGA Historical Center offers fans a look at golf’s founders, traditions and Championships, as drive by The PGA of America.

EXPERIENCE THE HISTORY OF GOLF AND SEE:

  • The trophies presented to the winners of golf’s four major Championships – PGA  Championship, Masters, U.S. Open, and British Open
