    That's about as close as you can get to being banned from whiteness; PGA is easily the most racist postwar non-SEC or non-SWC sports league in American history.

    Unwise. What is the PGA going to do when they lose the backing of this key demographic of Trump supporters??

    yes, golf is not a good spectator sport. The announcers even whisper just in case everyone watching is already asleep.

    Everyone avoiding Trump like the plague that he really is. This is great. He is toxic now that he’s been exposed as the big con man that he is. He finally crossed the line of what he could get away with. I see him in prison soon. And, his supporters contributed to his downfall. Woo!

    That takes Doral out of the equation too, I assume The Royal and Ancient will ban Turnberry also.

    I'd guess the creditors will be taking them back soon. Hahahaha

    Charlie Sifford was the the first African-American to join the PGA tour in 1961. He played in the U. S. Open in 1959. The PGA did indeed have a rule that excluded black golfers before 1961. However, Ted Rhodes did play in the U. S. Open in 1948. The U. S. Open is run by the USGA, not the PGA of America.

    After Sifford broke the color barrier in 1961, a number of black golfers have done very well on the PGA tour, including Lee Elder, Charles Owens, Jim Thorpe, Calvin Peete, Tiger Woods, and Harold Varner lll.

    It should be noted that while black golfers have competed on the PGA tour for almost 60 years. Many private clubs where golf is a popular amenity excluded African-Americans for many years. Even today many of these clubs have few African-Americans.
