About Ted Rhodes and Ted Rhodes Foundation

The Ted Rhodes Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 organization and was founded in 1993 to honor the legacy of Black Golf Pioneer and Golf Trailblazer Ted Rhodes. Ted is the 1st Black Professional Golfer in the modern era to play in the US Open (1948). During his 1997 master's win, Tiger Woods credited Ted Rhodes for paving the way for him to play golf.

Ted Rhodes’ vision was to make the game of golf open to all races. The Foundation is honoring his vision by creating pipelines of Black people to work in the golf industry as golfers or professionals working in the golf industry by hosting educational events, golf clinics, and golf tournaments for youth and adults. Our youth program is Future Golfers of America ” Growing the Champions of Tomorrow’. We provide financial support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) golf programs and golf team members to help further this mission. We also partner with local urban youth golf programs. Opening doors to the world of golf.
