Can we get a designation or option to add the Golf Hall of Fame members?

The World Golf Hall of Fame or the PGA of America Hall of Fame?

I would go with World Golf HOF.

Based on the other sport HOFs used for our database; NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA.  None of the International HOFs are used. I would use the PGA. They're the organization that decides world rankings.  But of course it's Admin's call.

The PGA HOF is atrocious, they didn't even induct anyone from 1983-2005, have only had 6 elections since 2006 w/ the majority of those inducted since then not even being pro golfers.  It's a bunch of administrators and club pros.  It's not even listed as an 'Achievement or Award' on Wikipedia, barely worthy of a few words in a player's bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew_Worsham

The PGA HOF is not even worthy of a mention in the bio of a World Golf HOF member (inducted into PGA HOF in 2017): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Player#Distinctions_and_honours

The LPGA HOF is at least a direct feeder into the World Golf HOF, once age and 5-year retirement qualifications are met, the PGA HOF is not.

World Golf HOF is the only one that should be used in for the HOF tag for golfers IMHO.  Similarly, for boxing, the IBHOF is the gold standard.
