Abstract
When this article was written, Tiger Woods had just won his fourth straight major golf championship and golf was experiencing unprecedented levels of interest and participation among African Americans, Asians, women, and young people. At the same time, playing golf was widely perceived as one of the non-performance-related routes to success in many organizations, a route available most readily to white men of some means and less readily to everyone else. This article identifies the illusion of inclusion stimulated by the emergence of Tiger Woods and steps golfers and non-golfers can take to make golf culture less damagingly exclusive.
