The World Golf Hall of Fame will forego an induction ceremony in May 2014 as it reviews how players are inducted.
In a release Monday, the Hall of Fame said the “strategic review” is ongoing, which includes an “evaluation of the criteria and process for electing/selecting all five avenues of induction and a review of the production of the annual Induction Ceremony, including date, location and presentation.”
The next induction ceremony will be held May 4, 2015.
The current criteria calls for players on the PGA Tour to be at least 40 years old, a member for 10 years, with at least 10 PGA Tour wins, two majors or two Players titles.
14-Year Old Ren Okazaki makes cut on JGTO
Asian golf's crop of talented teenagers delivered another record on Friday when 14-year-old Ren Okazaki became the youngest player to make the cut in a Japan Golf Tour event.
The schoolboy fired a second round seven-over par 79 at the Tokai Classic in Aichi Prefecture to finish in a tie for 49th on six-over 150 at the Miyoshi Country Club.
Okazaki, who opened the 120,000,000 yen ($1.23 million) event with a one-under 71, bettered the previous mark held by Japan's favorite golfing son Ryo Ishikawa, who was 15 years and eight months when he won the 2007 Munsingwear Open.
Despite seven bogeys, five of which came on the back nine, Okazaki finished two shots inside the cut line and said the pressure had played a part down the stretch.

President's Cup: Jordan Spieth Aces 12th Hole
Jordan Spieth is playing in his first Presidents Cup, but the 20-year-old has wasted little time making his presence known at Muirfield Village.
Spieth upstaged the other high-powered members of his practice group, including world No. 1 Tiger Woods, Matt Kuchar and Steve Stricker. When he made an ace at the par-3, 12th hole on Wednesday.
The recently-named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year used a 7-iron at the 173-yard hole. He watched intently as the ball traveled toward the flagstick, then turned to the crowd and raised his arms into the air when the ball found the hole.
