The museum has been closed since early last year, during which time its galleries have been redisplayed and reinterpreted.
Organizers want visitors to be uplifted and inspired as the past, present and future of golf is brought to life through a new range of immersive and interactive displays.
As well as the wealth of golfing history on display, the museum will also include a shop and a café, offering views of the famous Old Course and West Sands Beach.
Phil Anderton, the museum’s executive director and chief development officer at The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, said the new displays will appeal to both established golf fans and newbies. “Through the interactive galleries we hope to engage with current and new fans to deepen their knowledge and connection to golf.”
The museum presents the story of golf through six new thematic zones, each designed to engage and entertain through experiential and video displays.
Angela Howe, director of museum and heritage at the R&A, said: “Our goal when developing the R&A World Golf Museum was to reimagine the golf heritage experience – making it appealing to established golf fans whilst attracting and educating those new to the sport.
