Are black people barred from playing in the PGA or at Augusta National?

Nope..not any more--I think the first was in 1975--of course, the club that sponsored the Masters..did not have a Black member until 1990--or a woman until 2012--from the OP link:

More than any other tournament, the Masters reminds us that golf’s history cannot be separated from its present. Its legend is largely built on the exclusivity of a club that did not admit a Black member until 1990 and a female member until 2012. Sifford was never invited to play in the tournament, despite his two PGA Tour victories after breaking the color barrier in 1961; not until 1975 did Lee Elder become the first Black golfer to compete at Augusta National.

So the black race baiters are just trolling

Sports Illustrated has been "woke" for years and years. I don't know a thing about the issue of this
black golfer but I do know about SI.
