I was raised in a Bengali Hindu family. For us, to celebrate Diwali is to worship the goddess, Kali. The mother goddess, with dark skin and wild hair and a necklace of skulls (actually bad-dudes-whom-she-has-vanquished skulls), Kali is the figure of the woman you do not want to mess with. She is armed with a red hibiscus, and she is ferocious, except to those who worship her. (I know a few women like that. I worship them, too.) In my bedroom hangs a painting of Kali, made by an unnamed woman artist from the Madhubani region of eastern India, gifted to me by a friend more than 20 years ago. I tell you this because Diwali, which may be the only Hindu holiday you’ve heard of, means different things to different communities. If your family comes from North India, your Diwali story lifts a page from the epic tale of Ramayana. It marks the victorious return of its royal protagonist, Rama, after he defeats a shrewd rival from the South. The people of his kingdom light oil lamps — diyas — to guide him back home. If your family is from the South, Diwali plucks from the other great epic, Mahabharata, telling the story of Krishna, defeating a different greedy tyrant altogether. It is celebrated as Divali in the Caribbean, Deepavali in Sri Lanka, Tihar in Nepal. Traditional Diwali dishes in Schaumburg, Il.Lyndon French for The New York Times Everywhere we celebrate, we light a lamp. For me, as an Indian-American, raising an Indian-American child, Diwali is distilled to its essence. Diwali is a celebration of light. It comes on the darkest night of the lunar cycle. It marks the triumph of good over evil, justice over tyranny, knowledge over ignorance. It reminds me that we can help one another get through the darkest times.

On Saturday afternoon, my daughter and I will put on our masks and ride the bus to our friends’ garden in Brooklyn, armed with snacks and a bottle of Other People’s Pinot, from Maison Noir. Our host has warned me not to bring sweets, which are traditionally savored on Diwali, because she’s already stocked up. My daughter has laid out her fanciest salwar kameez. If I feel brave, I’ll wear a sari, with thermals underneath because I’m always cold. We will sit outside, seven of us, at a safe distance from each other. Our children will light the diyas, so that we may banish illness and ignorance, so that we may restore justice. On a dark evening, our children will show us the light.

But the captivation with color extends only so far at a club where the membership and the Masters fields remain predominantly white.

Their lives are interlocking links in the sport’s continuum of color. Both are symbols of progress and possibilities — but also of the culture that keeps golf largely on the periphery of the national conversation about race in America.

Mr. Champ, 25, was born in 1995, two months after Mr. Woods became the fourth player of African-American descent to compete at Augusta National. Mr. Woods named his son Charlie, after Charlie Sifford, a Black star who never received an invitation to the Masters. Woods referred to Mr. Sifford as his grandfather, but if he advocated for Mr. Sifford to be recognized by Augusta National before his 2015 death, Mr. Sifford’s family members were not aware of it. Unlike the racecar driver Bubba Wallace, who led the movement this year that resulted in NASCAR banning the Confederate flag at its events, Mr. Woods has not championed social change. He has been what Wendell Haskins, who runs the Original Tee Golf Classic, a tournament that targets African-American golf enthusiasts, described to me as a “culture fit,” not a “culture add.” Charlie Sifford drives on the first hole in this undated file image.Bettmann Archives/Getty Images From 2014 to 2017, Mr. Haskins, who is Black, was employed as the senior director of diversity and multicultural initiatives at the PGA of America, an organization whose membership was more than 90 percent white the year after Mr. Haskins left. Mr. Champ displayed his social conscience this summer after a Black man, Jacob Blake, was shot seven times in the back by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wis. At the PGA Tour event a few days later, Mr. Champ wore one black shoe and one white shoe and wrote the names of Jacob Blake, Breonna Taylor and Black Lives Matter on the side of one sole, prompting the Pro Golf Weekly, a digital publication, to refer to him as a “burgeoning left-wing activist.” Mr. Champ’s sports conscience has been informed by growing up in a sport where the dominant performer in his lifetime has been Mr. Woods, leading him to see only progress, not past wrongs in need of making right. As he prepared last month for his Masters debut, Mr. Champ saw no reason to hold Augusta National to account for a segregationist history similar to the one endured by his paternal grandfather, who caddied at courses around Houston that wouldn’t allow him to play. “Growing up, you don’t really learn that stuff until you’re older,” Mr. Champ told me last month. “It’s obviously a super historical tournament and something that obviously still means a lot to me,” he added. “I don’t think it needs to be shunned. I think it just has to do with the times. Now we’re in different times, things have changed.” The PGA Tour has four Black players. The LPGA Tour has one. Golf is a long way from being colorblind.
