Travis Puterbaugh was the Curator of the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum in St. Augustine, Florida from October 2014 until October 2021. He graduated from Loyola University of New Orleans with a B.A. in Communications, the University of South Florida with an M.A. in History, and has worked in the museum industry for 17 years.
Travis considered getting to walk inside the ropes during Day One of the 2016 International Crown as the highlight of his time working for the Hall of Fame... until he visited Tiger Woods' house to select and pack artifacts for his Class of 2022 induction exhibit. It's hard topping that.
