With items dating back to 1927, the exhibit features items from the personal collections of the golf legends mentioned previously as well as Gene Sarazen, Samuel Ryder, and more.

The 4,000-square-foot exhibit features more than 60 extremely rare items highlighted by the actual golf bag Nicklaus used during the famous "Concession" match in 1969.

Also showcased will be Walter Hagen's driver from the 1920s, a lunch menu from 1929 signed by Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Samuel Ryder himself, and official Ryder Cup programs dating back to the 1933 Ryder Cup.

Admission is free at Oakbrook Shopping Center, 100 Oakbrook Center, in Oak Brook.
