The PGA Championship History Exhibit, “A History of the Season’s Final Major,” is now open in Edina, Minnesota. The exhibit, which officially opened on June 9, pays tribute to past winners (all the way back to 1916) and to its newest Champion , Padraig Harrington.

Some of Harrington’s memorabilia is already featured in the exhibit, including the sand wedge that he used to capture the 2008 PGA Championship.

The exhibit has a diverse collection of memorabilia from the many PGA championships played, including:

-Jack Nicklaus’s putter, which he used to capture the 1980 PGA Championship
-Phil Mickelson’s wedge that clinched his victory on the 18th hole at Baltusrol in 2005
-A driver used by Jim Barnes in the 1916 inaugural Championship
-A straw hat worn by Sam Snead and a walking stick once used by the legendary Walter Hagen.

The PGA Championship History Exhibit is open daily through Sunday, Aug. 16, from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. with free admission.
