Masters founder Clifford Roberts dies at 84
AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley recalls Clifford Roberts as the private figure who built and guarded the Masters at Augusta National. He shaped the tournament, resisted commercialism, limited spectators and sponsors, and upheld strict invitation standards while welcoming Lee Elder in a landmark exception. Roberts, an Eisenhower friend, favored modesty and tradition over spectacle.
