“The Pat Bradley Room” Unveiled at Mass Golf House

(July 1, 2025 – NORTON, MASS.) – Pat Bradley is one of the most decorated golfers of all time. One of only seven women to have achieved the Career Grand Slam – winning all four major championships held in her era at least once – Bradley racked up 31 titles on the LPGA Tour and is a member of both the LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame.

She’s also a salt-of-the-earth human being whose fierce determination and work ethic earned her the well-deserved respect of her fellow competitors and countless fans across a career that spanned three decades.

It comes as no surprise, then, that highly-regarded golf historian Rand Jerris, Ph.D. – the USGA’s Senior Managing Director of Public Services – had these notables in mind a year ago when he was first approached with the opportunity to create a room that would permanently house a collection of over 100 items from Bradley’s golf journey. 

On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, with a snip of a shiny blue ribbon by Pat Bradley herself, The Pat Bradley Room was officially unveiled at the Mass Golf Headquarters in Norton, Massachusetts.

Pat Bradley’s nephew, Keegan, Ryder Cup Captain for Team USA, was among the first to see the finished room featuring a 100+ piece collection of Pat’s trophies and memorabilia.

“Golf is extraordinary because it is a community that is filled with extraordinary people,” said Jerris as he addressed over 80 of Bradley’s friends and family members in attendance for the reveal celebration. “Even within this extraordinary community, there are people who stand out for their incredible skills on the golf course, for their resilience in the face of challenges and for their enduring sportsmanship.”

“Without question, Pat Bradley is one of the most remarkable individuals to grace our sport and our community,” added Jerris, a 35-year researcher and promoter of golf’s history who earned his doctorate in art and archaeology from Princeton University and went on to author three award-winning golf books.

As Jerris set out to properly showcase Bradley’s epic stockpile of priceless memorabilia, four core themes along her golf journey emerged:

1) Pat’s career arc. “When Pat joined the LPGA tour in 1974, there were a handful of people – Pat’s Pack,” said Jerris. “These people recognized her skills and believed in her potential. This was a story that I knew needed to be highlighted and celebrated in the room.” A collage of mementos from Pat’s first year on Tour marks the start of her journey; from there a clockwise trip around the room is punctuated with career highlights and fan interaction from the titles she captured, culminating with her LPGA and World Golf Hall of Fame inductions.

Items from Bradley’s three decades on the LPGA Tour are thoughtfully placed around the room.

2) Pat’s six major championship titles. “How can you not be inspired by this past collection of major championship trophies?” said Jerris. “To win one major championship is an accomplishment and to win a second places that golfer in elite company. But to win six? Pat’s collection of silver and crystal hardware from the Du Maurier, the LPGA Championship, the Dinah Shore, and the U.S. Women’s Open deserves pride of place in the room.”

3) Pat’s New England home. “I hoped to convey a sense of her home and the warmth of it through what I came to call ‘the wall of treasures,’” noted Jerris, “A wall glowing with light and beautiful objects — all the items through so many years that filled the shelves and walls of Pat’s home.” The room’s walls are painted in Pat’s favorite shade of blue while two cozy upholstered armchairs centered amidst the thoughtfully placed accolades welcome conversation and a shared golf story or two. A generous window encased in white sashing fills the room with light from a life enjoyed mostly outdoors.

Writings on the wall: a famous quote by Pat Bradley and a list of her 31 LPGA Tour titles.

4) Pat’s values and beliefs. “These define her legacy,” said Jerris. “It is a legacy that started with her parents, was shaped by her brothers, and polished by the fine people that Pat has surrounded herself with throughout her life. These are the values that define Pat’s humility and generosity of spirit, the generosity and goodwill that she projects to the world in every day.” Pat’s mantra of hard work and perseverance graces the back wall in large print; a carefully detailed list of her 31 victories speaks volumes on the wall next to it.

Take one look around Bradley’s freshly minted room, and you’ll see that Jerris aced it. Just ask its honoree.

“My room is not just a collection of my trophies,” observed Bradley, who shared her thoughts with attendees after accepting a commemorative plaque from Jesse Menachem, Mass Golf’s Executive Director and CEO. “It’s a testament to my journey in the sport of golf, and to the incredible people who were with me in every part of my journey, with every swing, every putt, every win, big or small.”

“I thank the Mass Golf House community for providing not just a world class facility with amazing history, but a true home for my collection for eternity,” added Bradley.

Bradley plans to visit the room on occasion in the future and take a seat, just to reminisce.

“It’s the final resting spot of my journey,” said Bradley, “and to know that it’s here forever, safe and sound, I am thrilled.”

Fellow LPGA Legends and New England natives Donna Caponi and Jane Blalock were on hand to celebrate another big win for Bradley – The Pat Bradley Room at Mass Golf House!
