Lee Elder, the first Black golfer to play at the Masters, has died.

In his career, he received death threats and harassing phone calls, was turned away from hotels, and had to change clothes in parking lots because he was not allowed in the clubhouse. https://t.co/CFLVL6GZgK

Today, we remember golf champion Lee Elder. His 4 PGA tournament wins are dwarfed by his fight to play the game at the highest level. Despite limited sponsorship money, and the legacies of golf's long-standing "whites only" policy, Elder earned his spot on the PGA tour in 1968. pic.twitter.com/o7w7RAlSOW

Lee Elder changed the course of my life and countless others. Without him, there is no Tiger, there is no Vijay, there is no Varner. Sincere thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace and power. https://t.co/4nVOuVcZZp

Mr. Lee Elder… one of my heroes… words don't do justice to the impact you had on golf and the Black community. All I can say right now is thank you for blazing the trail. It's on us to stay the course and keep going in your honor. Rest easy legend 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/la0ccbBp5N
