Special thanks to Troon for featuring our foundation. We appreciate your support and partnership!

In the heart of racial segregation and amidst the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement, Ted Rhodes emerged as a trailblazer in the world of golf. Born in 1913 in Nashville, Tennessee, Rhodes was introduced to the game of golf when he began caddying at age 12. He took up the game by making his first set of golf clubs with clothes hangers and a used discarded 2-iron. Rhodes would practice with other caddies, hitting s**g balls at a local park in Tennessee and eventually found a golf course where he could play a few holes.

Discrimination barred his entry into professional tournaments, but his resilience and talent could not be denied. In 1948, he became the first African American in the modern era to compete in the U.S. Open at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, breaking down barriers that had long kept golf’s fairways exclusive. It was then that Rhodes was recognized as the first African American golfer. Read about how his daughter, Peggy Rhodes-White and granddaughter Tiffany White have carried on his legacy and perseverance to support HBCUs and junior golf efforts in Chicago, Tennessee and beyond.
