EP 96: The Racist History of the Masters Tournament

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the racist history of the Masters Tournament. The Masters was systemically white, upper-class men. Despite it beginning in 1934, the first Black golfer would not be allowed to compete in the tournament until 1975! The club would not admit its first Black member until 1990! Co-founder of the Tournament, Clifford Roberts, was allegedly quoted as saying, “As long as I’m alive, all the golfers will be white and all the caddies will be Black."

And although we will primarily be focusing on the racist history of the Masters, we also have to acknowledge its sexist history too. Membership to the Masters club would not even be offered to women until 2012!
