Darla Moore, MBA, `81

Darla Moore, MBA, `81, is one of two women invited to become the first female members of the Augusta National Golf Club. The other is former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, a friend of Moore’s and fellow avid golfer. The club – home to the Masters golf tournament – has faced criticism in the past because of its men-only membership. Rice and Moore will receive club members’ signature “green jackets” when the new season beings in October. Moore is vice president of Rainwater, Inc., a private investment company founded by her husband, Richard Rainwater. Read more about Moore’s invitation to join Augusta in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
