Lee Elder, who broke down racial Barr tiers as the first Black Golfer to play in the Masters and paved the way for Tiger Woods and others to follow, has died at the age of 87.  The PGA Tour announced Elder's death Monday, 11/29/2021.  A native Texan who developed his game during segregated times while caddying, Elder made history in 1975 at Augusta National, which had been an all white tournament until he received an invitation after winning the Monsanto Open the previous year.  He was able to polish his game while serving in the Army and after his discharge, joined the United Golf Association Tour for Black players in the early 1960s.  Elder was at Augusta National for Tiger Woods' historic win in 1997.
