“It's not humanly possible for Tiger to please as many people as want his time,” Jackson said, adding, “Tiger is a professional golfer, not an activist.” Woods used a black caddie, Tommy Bennett, at the Masters in 1995 when he was the only amateur to make the 36-hole cut.

This week, he will work his 51st Masters, toting the golf bag of Ben Crenshaw for the 36th time. While Woods, the pre-tournament favorite on the strength of his first official PGA victory since 2009 two weeks ago, pursues Nicklaus and his record 18 major victories, Jackson will be chasing ghosts who answered to names like Stovepipe and Cemetery. Richard Lapchick, an internationally recognized expert on diversity in sports, likened the caddie situation on the PGA Tour to what happened in women’s college basketball once it came under the auspices of the N.C.A.A. “Until the N.C.A.A. took over, all the coaches were women,” Lapchick, the director of the DeVos Sports Business Management Program at the University of Central Florida, said in a telephone interview. “As the jobs became prominent and more lucrative, the men went after them. I have the feeling something pretty analogous to that is happening in golf with caddies.” The advent of the golf cart made caddies expendable at private courses looking for new revenue paths. Among the clubs that remain golf cart holdouts, including Augusta National, most use contract companies for their caddies, which squeezes out the independent bagman. Jackson, an Augusta native with eight siblings, began caddying at age 11 to help his mother, a housekeeper, feed the family. It was either pick clubs for golfers or pick cotton, he said. “In a sense, golf raised me,” said Jackson, who dropped out of school in the ninth grade. Jack Stephens, an Augusta National member who later served as the club chairman, became a mentor and father figure to Jackson. Stephens, a Little Rock financier who would hire Jackson at Alotian Club in 2003, encouraged Jackson to complete his high school degree and employed him as his personal caddie. At Stephens’s suggestion, Jackson was paired with Crenshaw at the Masters in 1976. Twice, Crenshaw won the green jacket with Jackson at his side: in 1984 — the year after players were permitted to use caddies from outside Augusta National — and in 1995.

What’s the most important part of the golf swing? It’s a complicated question, considering the variety of factors that can contribute to things going wrong (or right) from backswing to follow-through. But as far as Jack Nicklaus is concerned, the most important thing happening is the first thing—the take-back. “If you were to pick one part of the golf swing that was the most important, which would you pick? I think you would obviously have to say the start of the swing, because everything that happens after the start of the swing is reactionary to [the backswing],” Nicklaus said. It helps to look at the swing like a chain, if one of the links is broken, the rest can’t function to the best of their ability. And if the first link is broken, well, the rest of your chain is rendered relatively useless. “If I start the club back on the outside, or the inside—if I take it too low or too high, all of it is going to result in something awkward throughout my golf swing,” Nicklaus said.
