COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Golf Association has announced the Ohio Golf Hall of Fame class of 2025. The Ohio Golf Hall of Fame strives to recognize outstanding achievements of Ohioans who play or support the game of golf. The Hall of Fame was founded in 1992 and features members such as Jack Nicklaus, Bob Hope, Arnold Palmer, Tammie Green, John Cook, and Ben Curtis, among others. 

The 2025 induction ceremony will be held at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Ticket information and other ceremony details will be posted on ohiogolf.org at a future date. 

Michael McCullough was born in Coshocton, Ohio, in 1945. McCullough grew up playing at Coshocton Town & Country Club after being introduced to the game by his grandfather. McCullough would go on to play collegiately at Bowling Green State University, where he is also a member of their Athletic Hall of Fame.

In 1970, McCullough won the Ohio Amateur Championship at Tippecanoe Country Club. Later that year, he turned professional. In 1972, McCullough joined the PGA TOUR, where he made 401 starts. He also made 33 starts on the Nationwide Tour (now Korn Ferry Tour).

McCullough’s best season on the PGA TOUR occurred in 1977, which was highlighted by a runner-up finish in the Tournament Players Championship. McCullough also registered a top-10 in the U.S Open and a T-4 in the Canadian Open that season to finish 36th on the money list.

After reaching the age of 50 in March 1995, he joined the Senior PGA Tour (now PGA TOUR Champions). His first win on the Champions Tour – at the Mexico Senior Classic in 2001 – came just before his 56th birthday. He won the Emerald Coast Classic about a month later, and the Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions Championship in 2005. His final appearance on the senior circuit came in 2014. As of April 2025, McCullough ranks inside the top-70 on the PGA TOUR Champions career money list with over $7,000,000 in earnings.

McCullough lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. He has three children: Jason, Mark, and Michelle.

Michele Redman is a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour and four-time member of the United States Solheim Cup team.

Born in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1965, Redman competed on the Zanesville High School Varsity boys’ golf team before playing collegiately at Indiana University. During her junior days, Redman won the 1983 Ohio State Junior Girls Championship. As a Hoosier, Redman won four events. Redman's success led her to being named All-American twice and All-Big Ten four times. In 1986, Redman advanced to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship. She was the Big Ten Conference champion in 1987. In 2001, she was inducted into the Indiana University Athletic Hall of Fame.

Redman gained status on the LPGA Tour in 1992 after winning three times on the LPGA Futures Tour in 1991. Her first LPGA win came in 1997 at the JAL Big Apple Classic, where she defeated the legendary Annika Sorenstam by three strokes. Redman earned a second LPGA victory in 2000, beating out Ohio Golf Hall of Fame member Meg Mallon by three strokes at the First Union Betsy King Classic.

Her success around the turn of the century earned her a spot on the U.S. Solheim Cup team in 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2005. After 20 seasons, she retired from the LPGA Tour in 2011. Redman still sits inside of the top-80 on the career LPGA Tour money list, as of April 2025. 

In 2011, Redman became the women’s golf coach at the University of Minnesota. In her years at the helm, the Gophers broke many team and individual scoring records. Redman was instrumental in securing funding for the John W. Mooty Golf Facility, a state-of-the-art indoor training center for Gopher Golf, which opened in 2019. During her coaching stint, she remained competitive as a player and won three times on the LPGA Legends Tour.

Redman retired from coaching in 2021 and is now a real estate professional in the Twin Cities area. Michele has stayed active within the game as a Player Development Professional at Medina Golf & Country Club in Medina, Minn. She has one daughter, McKenna.

T.J. Brudzinski, 63, of Columbus is one of the more accomplished mid-amateur and senior amateur players in the history of Ohio golf.

Growing up in Fremont, Ohio, it was mostly football, basketball, and baseball for TJ. He’d earn all-state honors in football before going on to play wide receiver at the University of Dayton and later as a walk-on at Ohio State. Brudzinski's older brother, Bob, was an All-American football player at Ohio State who went on to star at linebacker on the Miami Dolphins' "Killer B's" defense in the 1980s.

While TJ did become a pretty good player in his youth at Sycamore Hills Golf Club, it wasn’t until his 30’s that he became a great one. Brudzinski’s improvements really showed through in 2000. He won the 2000 CDGA Mid-Amateur Championship and advanced to the U.S. Amateur Championship later that season. 

Brudzinski would go on to make a habit of qualifying and competing in USGA Championships; 13 of them to be exact. He's played in two U.S. Senior Open Championships, two U.S. Senior Amateur Championships, a U.S. Four-Ball Championship, two U.S. Amateur Championships, and six U.S. Mid-Amateur Championships. TJ made match play twice in the U.S. Senior Amateur and four times in the U.S. Mid-Amateur.

Success in Ohio Golf Association championships would also come along for Brudzinski. His victory in the 2007 Ohio Mid-Amateur Championship was the first of six OGA championship wins. TJ won the 2010 Ohio Four-Ball, the 2018 and 2022 Ohio Senior Amateur Championship, and back-to-back Ohio Senior Four-Ball Championships in 2020 and 2021. 

Brudzinski’s list of accomplishments also includes three Columbus District Golf Association Mid-Amateur Championships in 2000, 2002, and 2023. He’d later win three consecutive CDGA Senior Championships from 2018-2020. With a win in 2017, Brudzinski became the first three-time winner of the Ohio Senior Hall of Fame Championship at Plum Brook. During his time at Worthington Hills Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, Brudzinski won the club championship seven times.

TJ and his wife, Jody, have two daughters. Brudzinski continues to compete in several Ohio Golf Association and Columbus District Golf Association events each season. He is currently a member at The Golf Club in New Albany, Ohio.
