Bob Wolcott

2026 Inductee

Bob Wolcott grew up in Dickson and quickly established himself as one of Tennessee’s most decorated junior golfers.
He was named to the first AJGA All-America Team, captured multiple state junior titles, and went on to become an All-
SEC and All-America player at the University of Georgia.
In 1983, at just 22 years old, he became only the second golfer in history to win both the Tennessee State Open and
the Tennessee State Amateur in the same year, joining Mason Rudolph.
Wolcott turned professional in 1984 and earned his PGA TOUR card in 1989. Competing from 1990–1997, he recorded
72 cuts made, eight Top-25 finishes, and two career-best third-place finishes—at the 1990 Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic
and the 1991 Greater Greensboro Open. He also competed on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour, earning respect as a
consistent ball striker and competitor.
From 1979 through the mid-1980s, Wolcott was a dominant force in Tennessee amateur golf, winning the State Ama-
teur in 1981 and 1983, the State Open in 1983, and being named Amateur Player of the Year three times. In 1979, he
was a member of the PGA Junior Cup squad that traveled to Venezuela and defeated teams from Europe and South
America. Wolcott’s name was regularly atop leaderboards in major amateur events across the country, competing
against—and often outplaying—future PGA TOUR stars.
After his playing career, Wolcott transitioned into leadership within the game, first serving as director of golf at Grey-
Stone Golf Club in his hometown of Dickson before becoming general manager and director of golf at Tunica National
Golf & Tennis in Mississippi. Today, he owns GreyStone Golf Club, where his lifelong passion for the game continues to
shine through both his management and mentorship.
