Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Loren Roberts and Miguel Angel Jimenez have all been added to the ballott for the 2012 World Golf Hall of Fame and Museum.

Mickelson, who became eligible to be included on the ballot when he turned 40 last year, has won 39 PGA Tour victories including four major titles - three Masters victories and the 2005 PGA Championship.

Furyk, who also became eligible by turning 40 last year as well, has 16 Tour wins and is the defending FedEx Cup champion.

Roberts became eligible for induction following last year's Champions Tour win at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open. That gave him a combined 20 career wins on both the PGA and Champions Tour. The 56-year-old has enjoyed great success on the senior circuit, having won 12 times including four major titles.

Jimenez was added to the international ballot after compiling 50 career points, thanks to his solid play in 2010 which included three tournament victories.

Aside from Mickelson, Furyk and Roberts, the following names are also up for consideration on the PGA Tour ballot: Miller Barber, Fred Couples, Don January, Tony Lema, Davis Love III, Harold "Jug" McSpaden, Mark O'Meara, Macdonald Smith, Dave Stockton, Ken Venturi and Fuzzy Zoeller.

Joining Jimenez on the International ballot are Peter Alliss, Darren Clarke, Max Faulkner, Retief Goosen, Sandy Lyle, Graham Marsh, Colin Montgomerie, Norman Von Nidia and Ian Woosnam.

In order to be inducted, a candidate must receive votes on 65 percent of all ballots returned.

Hall of Fame members, golf journalists, historians and dignitaries from around the world have until October to cast their vote. An announcement on the 2012 class will be made later this year with the induction ceremony set for May 7, 2012.

Last year, Ernie Els was the only player to recieve enough votes to earn induction in his first year of eligibility.
