The World Golf Hall of Fame, with the support of Ping, the LPGA and the Ladies European Tour, opened an exhibit on August 17, 2007 that tells the story of women’s professional golf’s most prestigious team competition, the Solheim Cup.

Titled “Pride, Passion, Patriotism: A Celebration of The Solheim Cup” the exhibit precedes the 2007 Solheim Cup, set for September 14-16 at Halmstad Golf Club in Halmstad, Sweden.

“The Solheim family and all the Ping team are thrilled with the exhibit honoring the Solheim Cup and the competitors that have made the event the success that it is,” said John A. Solheim, chairman and CEO of Ping Inc. “To have the World Golf Hall of Fame recognize this great competition, that is really very young, is something very special.”

On display from the Solheim family will be one of three original Solheim Cup trophies. Photos, video and additional memorabilia will be included in the display through a variety of sources, including Hall of Fame members, the LPGA, Ladies European Tour and Ping.

With the commitment and vision of Hall of Fame member Karsten Solheim and his company, Ping, a new tradition in women’s professional golf began in 1990 with the creation of The Solheim Cup. The exhibit will feature an overview of the event and its early development, as well as stories of memorable moments from those who have been a part of this spirited competition since the beginning.

It will be the next special exhibit on display at the Hall of Fame, which currently is featuring “Gary Player: A Global Journey.” Opening on November 12, 2007 will be “Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Bear."
