Two-time major champion Sandy Lyle and British commentator Peter Alliss have been selected for the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Lyle was elected through the international ballot after winning 29 tournaments worldwide, including the 1985 British Open and the 1988 Masters, where he became the first British winner at Augusta.
The 53-year-old Scotsman says ''to be placed in the company of the greatest names in our game is very special.''
Alliss, who won 23 tournaments as a player before becoming a commentator in 1961, was picked for the Lifetime Achievement category.
