The United States Golf Association announced in July 2022 that it would close the St. Augustine properties and move the Hall of Fame to its original home in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

The minimum qualifications for male and female competitors are: minimum of 40 years old, or five years removed from "active competition" and 15 or more wins on "approved tours" or two "major wins".

The Hall of Fame and Museum, the brainchild of former PGA Tour commissioner Deane Beman, who was later one of its inductees, fell victim to dwindling attendance even before the pandemic when most museums closed in 2020.

Most of the original inductees were later enshrined at the PGA World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, North Carolina. In 1993, the PGA of America ceased PGA World Golf Hall of Fame operations in Pinehurst and subsequently relocated to the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida.
