The Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) has a complex history with regards to Black individuals. The PGA of America was founded in 1916, but for many years, the organization had a "Caucasian-only" clause in its bylaws, preventing Black golfers from participating in PGA events. This exclusionary policy led to the creation of separate tournaments and leagues for Black golfers, such as the United Golfers Association (UGA) in 1925.

One of the most significant moments in Black golf history came in 1961 when Charlie Sifford became the first Black golfer to earn a PGA Tour card after legal challenges to the "Caucasian-only" clause. Sifford faced racial discrimination and hostility while competing in PGA events, but his perseverance paved the way for other Black golfers to follow in his footsteps.

In 1968, Lee Elder became the first Black golfer to play in the Masters Tournament, breaking one of golf's color barriers. Elder's participation in the Masters was a pivotal moment for diversity and inclusion in the sport.

In recent years, Black golfers like Tiger Woods and most recently, Cameron Champ, have achieved great success on the PGA Tour, inspiring a new generation of diverse golfers to pursue their dreams in the sport. While progress has been made to increase diversity and representation in golf, there is still work to be done to ensure equal opportunities for all individuals in the sport.
