Bill Spiller (October 25, 1913 – 1988) was an American professional golfer who helped break the color barrier in the sport.

He grew up in a time of frequent racial violence, notably during the Tulsa race massacre.

[3] Spiller and another golfer, Ted Rhodes, sued the PGA for violating the Taft-Hartley Act, which prohibited discrimination in labor unions.

[3] In 1952, PGA president Horton Smith excluded Spiller and boxer Joe Louis from the San Diego Open,[2][4] which caused a national outcry and legal threats.

In 1960, Stanley Mosk, the attorney general of California, intervened and warned the PGA that it would be barred from using public golf courses unless it ceased its discriminatory policies.
