Former PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has been added to the World Golf Hall of Fame Class of 2021, joining Tiger Woods and Marion Hollins next year for enshrinement.
Finchem served as commissioner from 1994-2016, leading the circuit through an unprecedented period of growth. When Finchem took the helm from Deane Beman, the prize money for the PGA Tour, the then Senior PGA Tour and the then Hogan Tour added up to less than $100 million. By the time he handed off the role to current commissioner Jay Monahan, the prize fund for those three circuits and the three added under his watch (PGA Tour Latinoamerica, Mackenzie Tour and PGA Tour Series China) was over $400 million.
