Get ready to dive into the incredible legacy of Valhalla Golf Club! Founded in 1986 by Dwight Gahm, a local businessman with a deep love for golf, Valhalla was designed by none other than the legendary Jack Nicklaus. In this exciting program, Phil Gahm, Dwight’s son, will bring Valhalla’s story to life—from its beginnings on the family farm to becoming one of golf’s premier venues. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of Valhalla’s iconic moments including the Tiger Woods Tiger Slam PGA Victory in 2000, which is still the highest TV rated PGA Championship in its history and the only major tournament in history that Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus played together.

Phillip Gahm is the son of Valhalla founder Dwight Gahm and founder of “The Champ” Foundation, LLC. Prior to retirement, he was a second-generation owner and the Director of Operations at Kitchen Kompact in Jeffersonville, In. He received a bachelor’s degree in industrial management from Purdue University.
