“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.

A lifelong golf fan, Andy graduated in 2019 with a degree in Sports Journalism and got his first role in the industry as the Instruction Editor for National Club Golfer. From there, he decided to go freelance and now covers a variety of topics for Golf Monthly.
Andy took up the game at the age of seven and even harboured ambitions of a career in the professional ranks for a spell. That didn’t pan out, but he still enjoys his weekend golf at Royal Troon and holds a scratch handicap. As a side note, he's made five holes-in-one and could quite possibly be Retief Goosen’s biggest fan.
As well as the above, some of Andy's work has featured on websites such as goal.com, dailyrecord.co.uk, and theopen.com.
