Love was also the captain of the winning US Ryder Cup team earlier this month.

"We look forward to an exciting year ahead as we prepare for the Induction Ceremony, which will be hosted appropriately in the 'city of dreams' – New York City."
The other four inductees include LPGA star Lorena Ochoa, who will be the first Mexican to enter the Hall of Fame.
Meanwhile, England's Ian Woosnam was recognised for featuring in eight consecutive Ryder Cup teams, amongst other accolades.
Finally, LPGA veteran and four-time major winner Meg Mallon, as well as Henry Longhurst – recognised as golf's first TV personality – were also inducted.
