Who is Darla Moore? The Businesswomen Joins Augusta National Golf Club

Darla Moore joins former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to become the first female members of Augusta National Golf Club.

The club, which hosts the Masters every year, has exclusively had only male members for its entire history, which dates back to 1932. Martha Burk of the National Council of Women's Organizations made headlines in 2002 when she unsuccessfully tried to get Augusta to change its ways.

While Rice is one of the most well-known women in the United States, the other new member doesn't share the same kind of notoriety.

Moore has expressed her excitement to join the prestigious club.

"I am fortunate to have many friends who are members at Augusta National, so to be asked to join them as a member represents a very happy and important occasion in my life.
