NFL's Patrick Peterson is passionate about increasing diversity in golf ... telling TMZ Sports he started his own club to introduce new people to the sport!!
Peterson -- who last played with the Steelers in 2023 -- is well aware of the lack of black representation in the sport ... with Tiger Woods carrying the majority of the weight.
That's why the eight-time Pro Bowler and his friends founded Gold Links Golf Club, which offers plenty of events and opportunities for people to get involved, including an upcoming celebrity tournament with Ne-Yo.
