It’s a process over time. As people find out about it (the Caddie Hall of Fame and PCA) they say, ‘This guy or lady should be in.’ We want to have a caddie from every country in the world represented and sharing their start in golf someday.”
Based on the nominations submitted and the information gathered, the 10 members of the nominating committee, made up of PGA TOUR & LPGA golfers, professional caddies, golf writers and other dignitaries, will cast their votes.
