Roughly three years ago, the PGA TOUR asked senior executive Julie Tyson to head up a new employee resource group. Its mission was to serve workers who were members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
Among other things, the initiative entailed the creation of something called the Prism Group, which according to tour officials was designed to “move the organization forward in a multitude of ways” in an effort to “change the social fabric of (that group) and the game of golf.”
