NHC Hall of Fame Nomination Form

The nomination committee includes NHC qualifier host site tournament directors, past NHC and NHC Tour Champions, past Hall of Fame inductees, and NHC Players’ Committee members.

Per new recommendations from the Players’ Committee, eligible candidates for nomination (listed below) have qualified to the NHC at least 10 times and have cashed in either the NHC or the NHC Tour.

Hall of Fame nominations should be selected using the following criteria:

  • Competed in NHC-sanctioned tournaments and played consistently well over an extended period of time;
  • Gained the respect and admiration of their peers; and
  • Contributed to the overall growth and success of the NHC and/or tournament play, with indelible positive and lasting results.

Nominations should be submitted by Monday, December 1.

The top 5 individuals, including ties, with the most nominations, will be placed on the NHC Hall of Fame ballot in addition to the 7 nominees last year. The ballot will be emailed to the nomination committee, as well as current Tour members who have been a member for the past 10 years AND have qualified for the NHC at least once during that same time period. The top four (4) nominees with the most votes will be inducted into the NHC Hall of Fame and honored at the annual Champions Dinner at the Horseshoe Las Vegas following the conclusion of the NHC on Sunday, March 15.

The following will automatically be on the Hall of Fame Finalists based on the previous years’ nomination:

Kevin Engelhard, Mike Ferrozzo, Marshall Gramm, Chris Littlemore, Tom Noone, Mitch Schuman, Mark Stovall

Please nominate up to three individuals to the 2026 NHC Hall of Fame.
