Charlie Sifford’s Historic 1957 Win That Changed Golf

from AURN News · host Clay Cane, Jamie Jackson, Ebony McMorris

In 1957, Charlie Sifford made history as the first African American to win a major golf tournament, capturing the Long Beach Open using a putter gifted by Joe Louis. His victory helped push the PGA of America to end its “Caucasian-only” clause in 1961 — a pivotal moment for racial equity in sports. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
