Former President George H.W. Bush, a golf enthusiast and World Golf Hall of Fame inductee, died late Friday night at his Houston home. At 92, he was the oldest living former U.S. president.
The 41st president was an avid golf fan and helped raise the profile of the sport. In the past two decades, after his administration, Bush had received numerous awards from golf organizations, including the PGA of America’s Distinguished Service Award (1997), the USGA’s Bob Jones Award (2008) and the PGA Tour’s Lifetime Achievement Award (2009).
In 2011, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, via the Lifetime Achievement Category.
