The Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) has a complex history with regards to Black participation. The PGA of America was founded in 1916, but for much of its early history, it had a "Caucasian-only clause" that barred non-white golfers from membership. This policy persisted for many years, effectively excluding Black golfers from professional opportunities within the organization.

One of the most well-known Black golfers who faced discrimination from the PGA was Charlie Sifford. Sifford was a talented and trailblazing golfer who faced racial segregation and discrimination as he tried to compete professionally. Despite these challenges, Sifford became the first Black golfer to compete on the PGA Tour after the Caucasian-only clause was finally removed in 1961.

Sifford's legacy paved the way for other Black golfers to compete on the PGA Tour and make their mark in the sport. Today, there are several successful Black golfers who have made significant contributions to the game, including Tiger Woods, who has broken numerous records and barriers in golf.

While progress has been made in increasing diversity in professional golf, there is still work to be done to ensure equal representation and opportunities for Black golfers within the sport. The history of Black golfers in the PGA serves as a reminder of the perseverance and talent that has overcome racial barriers to achieve success in the world of golf.
