Darius Rucker will host the 2024 World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by CME Group, at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina on June 10.

The ceremony will air live on Golf Channel, and kicks off the week of the 124th U.S. Open and the opening of the new World Golf Hall of Fame Museum at the United States Golf Association (USGA)’s Golf House Pinehurst.

“Golf is my biggest passion outside of music, so it’s an honor to be invited to be part of such a significant event for the sport,” says Rucker. “I love the course at Pinehurst and can’t wait to celebrate this year’s inductees.”

The 2024 World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will honor Padraig Harrington, Sandra Palmer along with the late Johnny Farrell, Beverly Hanson, Tom Weiskopf and the Founders of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). NBA star Stephen “Steph” Curry will receive the Charlie Sifford Award, presented by Southern Company, which honors recipients for their spirit in advancing diversity in golf.

“Given Darius Rucker’s longstanding involvement in golf he is a perfect host for this momentous occasion, which is marking the 50th anniversary of the World Golf Hall of Fame,” says Greg McLaughlin, CEO, World Golf Foundation.

Additionally, Rucker has raised more than $3.6 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through his annual “Darius & Friends” benefit concert and golf tournament. He has also advocated for over 200 charitable causes supporting public education and junior golf programs in South Carolina through the Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation. Rucker will release his first book, Life’s Too Short: A Memoir by Darius Rucker, on May 28.
