Honda Classic 2016 & PGA National Reveal an Artistic Side: Faces of Golf

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Feb. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Faces of Golf, by portrait sculptor Lawrence Holofcener, was installed this week at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.  The bronze is a tribute to the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the game of golf.  The 116 faces in this bas relief span almost 450 years – from the home of modern golf in 1567, under the watchful eye of Mary, Queen of Scots, until today.

The first casting of Faces of Golf is installed on the front of the British Golf Museum in St. Andrews, Scotland and was unveiled during the 2015 British Open.

The casting at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida is the first placement of Faces of Golf in the United States.  The installation features the faces of 93 men and 23 women who have made lasting contributions to the game of golf.

The artist, Lawrence Holofcener, said:

“Having long enjoyed the game of golf, I felt inspired to celebrate the careers of remarkable people who have contributed, over the years, to this wonderful game.”

Eight of the players in the 2016 Honda Classic are represented in the sculpture:  Angel Cabrera, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Retief Goosen, Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh.

End.
