The minimum qualifications for male and female competitors are: minimum of 40 years old, or five years removed from "active competition" and 15 or more wins on "approved tours" or two "major wins".

Most of the original inductees were later enshrined at the PGA World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, North Carolina. In 1993, the PGA of America ceased PGA World Golf Hall of Fame operations in Pinehurst and subsequently relocated to the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida.

Shadow Creek Golf Course Leading the roster of the world's most expensive golf courses is Shadow Creek. In 2019, the course ascended to this position, clinching the title when it elevated its peak-season green fees to $600 per round.

It costs a minimum of $110,000 to compete for a year on the PGA Tour - $75,000 on the Nationwide - and there are no guaranteed paydays. Each week the worst-scoring half of the field is eliminated after the second day of the four-day tournament and earns nothing.
