Black golfers faced a great deal of discrimination until very recently. The PGA had a Jim Crow clause in its eligibility criteria that barred black golfers from membership, effectively preventing most African American golfers from competing at the professional level. The PGA removed its whites only requirement in 1961. Additionally, many championships and competitive events were held at segregated country clubs, or clubs with restrictive membership requirements. Although there were notable Black golfers that broke the color barrier, such as Charlie Sifford, many other talented Black athletes like Bill Spiller that did not see an integrated PGA until after their careers had ended. Most Black Golf pros competed in the UGA, equivalent to Baseball's Negro Leagues, until the late 1960s / early 1970s. Hope this helps! Jonathan Carter, President, BlackGolfNet www.blackgolfnet.com
