According to this story from the NY Times, Augusta National Golf Club, “The home of the Masters, under increasing criticism in the last decade because of its all-male membership, invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first women in green jackets when the club opens for a new season in October.”
The women accepted.
A few months ago a friend with a lot of inside knowledge of the upper echelon of American golf predicted Rice would be the first Augusta member and eventually be picked to lead USGA, as well.
