Caddies
Augusta National remains one of the few golf clubs with a staff of caddies to assist members, guests, and professionals. Before 1983, staff caddies were assigned to professional players. All of the staff caddies were black, a remnant of the Jim Crow south. Club founder Clifford Roberts once said "As long as I’m alive, all the golfers will be white and all the caddies will be black." In 1983, Chairman Hord Hardin permitted players in the Masters Tournament to use their regular caddies. Augusta's caddy staff continues to wear its trademark white jumpsuits year-round. Female caddies are permitted; most of them, however, are professional golfers' regular caddies, such as Fanny Sunesson. Sunesson is one of the PGA Tour's few female caddies, and has caddied for several players at the Masters, most notably three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo, and more recently Henrik Stenson. During the pre-tournament Masters events in 2007, Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman was selected by Arnold Palmer to caddy alongside him. In 2009, Fuzzy Zoeller's daughter Gretchen was his caddy for his last year competing in the Masters.
Ben Crenshaw won both of his Masters titles with an Augusta National caddie, Carl Jackson.
