Accomplished amateur golfer Richard Scott, former professional golfer Jerry Anderson and renowned course architect Charles Blair Macdonald have been selected for 2025 induction into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame.
Scott, 41, of Kingsville, Ont. and Anderson (posthumous) will be inducted into the players category, while Macdonald (posthumous) will be inducted into the builder category.
The three golfers become the 87th, 88th and 89th honoured members of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame.
“The Canadian Golf Hall of Fame Committee is pleased to announce the selection of Richard Scott, Jerry Anderson and Charles Blair Macdonald for election to the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame,” said Harry Brotchie, chair of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame Selection Committee. “Each of these individuals received substantial support in their nominations and full endorsement of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame Selection Committee. Each of them is unique in the contributions they have made to golf and are very deserving of this honour.”
Scott won the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship three times during his career, the first in 2003 and then back-to-back in 2005 and 2006. A graduate of Golf Canada’s National Team Program (2006), Scott is tied with Brent Franklin with three Canadian Men’s Amateur titles trailing only Doug Roxburgh and Nick Weslock with four, C.Ross (Sandy) Somerville with six and George S. Lyon with eight.
“It is a tremendous honour to be inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. Being included with the best of the best that Canadian golf has to offer is truly remarkable,” said Scott. “I couldn’t have accomplished this without the love and support of my parents, Rick and Colleen Scott. I look forward to being part of the ceremony in August.”
Scott, Anderson and Macdonald will officially join the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony taking place during the RBC Hall of Fame Day as part of the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open which runs Aug. 20-24 at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont.
