“Large tornado just did damage in the World Golf Village area of St. Augustine, Florida,” Devitt wrote.
There has been no official statement from the World Golf Village or World Golf Hall of Fame, which recognises some of the biggest names in the history of the game.
While most sportsmen or women don’t enter the Hall of Fame until they are well retired, given the longevity of golfers, many are inducted while they’re still playing.
Tiger Woods was granted his place among the pantheon of greats in March 2022.
