Augusta policy on black players at the Masters remains nonexclusive yet no black golfer has qualified to compete for the event since 1934. Chairman Clifford Roberts states the club lacks a bar to entry based on race, relying on ability and the 14 entry categories for invitation. He notes a possible black Masters champion will come, and figures TV ratings would rise with broader inclusion.
