Weir Going Into Ontario Hall
Uxbridge, ON – The Golf Association of Ontario announced today that Mike Weir has been selected as the 2010 inductee into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame. Weir’s induction will mark the tenth anniversary of the Hall, which was established in the year 2000 to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments made by Ontarians to the game of golf.
With a new class inducted annually, Weir will become the 55th person to be welcomed into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame. A former Ontario Amateur Champion (1990, 1992) and Ontario Junior Boys’ Champion (1998), Weir has become one of Canada’s most outstanding professional golfers, capturing numerous national and international titles including eight PGA tour victories.
Weir's most notable achievement to date came in 2003 when the Bright’s Grove, Ontario native captured The Masters Tournament at Augusta National, becoming the first and only Canadian to earn golf’s coveted Green Jacket.
To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame, the Golf Association of Ontario will also be inviting back each of the 54 past inductees (or family members in the case of posthumous inductions) to the 2010 induction ceremony to further celebrate Ontario’s rich golf history.
The final date of the 2010 induction ceremony will be announced in the coming weeks.
