Gary Player

Gary James Player (born 1 November 1935) is a South African retired professional golfer who is widely considered to be one of the greatest golfers of all time. During his career, Player won over 150 professional tournaments across six continents, including nine major championships. Following victories at the 1959 Open Championship, 1961 Masters Tournament and 1962 PGA Championship, Player won the 1965 U.S. Open to become the first non-American to win the career grand slam. He was the third golfer in history to win the modern career grand slam, following Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan, and only Nicklaus, Woods and Rory McIlroy have achieved the feat since. Player was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. Nicknamed "the Black Knight", "Mr. Fitness", and "the International Ambassador of Golf", Player has been prolific as a golf course architect with more than 400 design projects throughout the world. He has also authored or co-written 36 books on golf instruction, design, philosophy, motivation and fitness. In 2021, Player was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by United States president Donald Trump. The Player Group was established by Marc Player who owns and operates The Player Foundation, which has a primary objective of promoting underprivileged education around the world. In 1983, Marc Player established the Blair Atholl Schools in Johannesburg, South Africa, which has educational facilities for more than 500 students from kindergarten through eighth grade. In 2013 it celebrated its 30th anniversary with charity golf events in London, Palm Beach, Shanghai and Cape Town, bringing its total of funds raised to over US$60 million. Marc attempted to sell his father's memorabilia despite an agreement requiring the items be returned to Gary.
