Cypress Point Refuses to Change PGA Tour Policy Stance
Cypress Point Golf Club will not modify its membership policy to align with the PGA Tour anti discrimination rules for hosts. The club, which admits women but has no Black members, will drop as a host of the ATandT Pebble Beach National Pro Am after more than 40 years. Tim Finchem says the Tour did not demand a Black member quota and did not discuss action beyond the club’s refusal. The decision follows Shoal Creek controversy and related corporate withdrawals.
