In 1975, Lee Elder braved death threats to become the first African-American golfer to play at the prestigious US Masters in Augusta. It was one of the last race barriers in US sport and made him a hero to many black sportsmen – including Tiger Woods. Lee Elder speaks about the tournament to Simon Watts. This programme includes description of racial abuse. (Photo: Lee Elder playing golf later in life. Credit: Getty Images)
