About Ted Rhodes and Ted Rhodes Foundation
The Ted Rhodes Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 organization and was founded in 1993 to honor the legacy of African American Golf Pioneer and Golf Trailblazer Ted Rhodes. Ted is the 1st African American Professional Golfer in the modern era to play in the US Open (1948).
