Richard Sise Tufts (March 16, 1896 – December 17, 1980) was a notable figure in American golf in the mid-20th century.
He served in World War I before starting work at Pinehurst with his father Leonard, and later taking over himself.
He added 40 holes to the resort and hosted the 1936 PGA Championship and the 1951 Ryder Cup.
He ran Pinehurst until relatives sold their stock to Diamondhead Corp., ending family control.
Like Bobby Jones, Tufts was a great believer in amateur golf, and had a rather patrician disapproval of any commercialization of the sport.
