EDINA, Minn. (AP) -- He was the first of only five players to capture the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. He was the first player to lose all four majors in extra holes. Finally, Craig Wood is getting his due.

Forty years after he died, Wood was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame by earning the minimum 65 percent of the vote, making him the only player this year to be get in through the PGA Tour ballot.

Wood will be inducted Nov. 10 at the World Golf Village along with a class of 2008 that was expanded to five Tuesday.

Denny Shute, who won a British Open at St. Andrews and won back-to-back years at the PGA Championship, was selected through the Veterans Category, while golf writer Herbert Warren Wind and seven-time USGA champion Carole Semple Thompson were selected through the Lifetime Achievement category. Golf course architect Pete Dye was selected earlier in the Lifetime Achievement category.

Wood won 21 times on the PGA Tour and became the first wire-to-wire winner of the Masters in 1941. He was poised to win the second edition of the Masters in 1935, safely in the clubhouse until Gene Sarazen holed out for double eagle on the 15th hole, then defeated Wood the next day in a playoff.

Shute had 15 Tour victories, including the British Open at St. Andrews in 1933. He won the PGA Championship in 1936 and 1937, and for 63 years was the last man to win consecutive PGA Championship titles until Tiger Woods in 1999-2000.

Wind wrote for The New Yorker from 1947 to 1953, then a 30-year stretch until he retired in 1990. He was covering the Masters in 1958 for Sports Illustrated when he described the 11th, 12th and 13th holes as "Amen Corner." His books on golf include "The Story of American Golf" and "Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" that he wrote with Ben Hogan.

Thompson has played in more than 100 USGA events, winning the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1973, four straight years in the U.S. Women's Senior Amateur and the twice in the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur. She played on 12 Curtis Cup teams and was captain twice.
