About this Article

A few feet away from the main fountain at Oakbrook Center, just across from Macy's, lies a relatively non-descript storefront. Inside however, it's anything but, as golf history — more specifically Ryder Cup history — is spread out before you in the first-ever exhibit chronicling the storied event, the 2012 edition which will be coming to Medinah Country Club in late September.
