Verplank was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.

Danny Edwards was a two-time Big Eight champion and two-time first team All-American at OSU, and five times on the PGA Tour. He also won the Oklahoma Open three times, in 1975, '77, and '79.

David Edwards won the 1978 NCAA individual and team championships at OSU, and won four times on the PGA Tour, plus was a two-time winner of the Oklahoma Open in 1994 and 1996.

Farley was head pro at Twin Hills Golf & Country Club in Oklahoma City, and went on to design many courses in Oklahoma, including Kickingbird in Edmond, Quail Creek Golf & Country Club in Oklahoma City, John Conrad in Midwest City, Arrowhead State Park and Roman Nose State Park.

Proctor was the head pro at Kickingbird, plus designed courses and played in 20 major championships.

The five will be officially inducted on November 21 at a banquet at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club.
