re: Tiger Woods Aside, Has Golf has Done a Terrible Job of Incorporaring Minorities

The PGA is not obligated to do shite.

The opportunity is 100% there for Devonte same as it is for Phil.

But, (and trigger warning you pussy) maybe black athletes aren't well suited for a sport that doesn't require running, jumping, or hitting?

Nah, clearly the answer is systemic racism. The PGA should be recruiting black players, but that's not enough. They should all hit from the red tees as well.

if there isnt any minority players qualified to play in the masters then I dont think its the PGA's problem. There are tons of players from Hispanic and Asian countries. If they didnt qualify then too bad try next year.


That aside it's not true...I saw vijay is in there...si woo kim...angel cabrerra, kevin na, Hideki Matsuyama, & sergio to name a few

There's is also the issue whether or not minority groups (like BLM) have standing to sue to compel the PGA to act, or even seek damages for their failure to do so.

There is no way you actually are this dumb.

mean, how many minority kids do you see putting down the football or basketball to pick up a golf club? Almost any time a minority plays golf, ESPN is slobbering all over them before they even know if they're legit or not. I've tried a lot of different sports and let me say, golf is by far the most infuriating game I've ever played. However, I digress, it's 2017 so any time something with a white majority is taking place, it might as well be a clan rally at this point because that's how the world today will treat it.

Socioeconomically, how many blacks have the time, money, resources and connections to devote to this luxury sport? Also will the majority make the barrier for entry (not skill) easier for others? It'd be in their advantage to not do so

I noticed on Twitter the hashtag #AllWhiteMasters is trending, and I took a look at the roster and it's not wrong

15 of the ~90 competitng are from Asia, Africa, and South America.

Golf and it's club owners strategically and blatantly kept blacks and others out of the sport.

And you will list exactly zero examples.

Go frick yourself.

If I'm dense, then you believe everything you hear as fact! Club owners worry about one thing and one thing only! MONEY, and if that comes from Joe Blow white guy, then that is their call to make, not yours or mine.

there are very few professional sports that do not draft or select their players based on physical features. Golf is one of those sports, it is based on merit, where a 300lb guy who crushes the ball can qualify and possibly win a golf tournament, same a 150lb string bean of a man, who can't clear his shadow.

If they didn't like spending $400/month on a brand new car with spinners maybe they could get a membership somewhere

This type of thread is why DJT won. People are tired af of this enabling bs weak attitude. Want more black golfers? Go take out billboard ads and out them in predominately black areas and inspire interest in the youth. There are very few black golfers. If they aren't good enough, they don't get the invite. That's not the PGA's fault.

Ghetto subculture should never be a allowed to pervade the tone and tenor, though. Period. You like golf? Be good at it. Dress the part. Act the part.
