Lee Elder, First Black Man to Play in the Masters, Dies at 87
Lee Elder, who famously broke the color barrier at the Masters, died on Sunday at age 87. The news was first reported by African-American Golf Magazine and confirmed by the PGA Tour.
Elder, of Dallas, Texas, won four times on the PGA Tour, but his most notable achievement came when he played the Masters in 1975. Elder missed the cut that year, but made five more appearances, his best finish being a tie for 19th in 1977.
