FILE - In this Jan. 13, 1969 file photo, Charlie Sifford throws up his arms after he dropped a short par putt on the 18th green to tie Harold Henning of South Africa at the end of 72 holes in the $100,000 Los Angeles Open golf tournament. Sifford went on to win the tournament with a birdie 3 on the first extra hole. Pioneering black golfer Charlie Sifford will receive the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, on Nov. 24 during a ceremony at the White House. The 92-year-old Sifford has been compared to Jackie Robinson for finally breaking the PGA's color line when it reluctantly dropped its &quot;Caucasian only&quot; membership rule in 1961 and issued him full playing privileges on the PGA Tour. Sifford has been credited with opening the doors to other minority golfers. Tiger Woods has long called Sifford his grandfather and has said that were it not for Sifford and other pioneers, he may not have ever played golf. (AP Photo, File)
