Biography
Gary Player is widely respected as being one of the greatest golfers in history. He is the only non-American to have won all four Majors. He has won 165 tournaments on six continents over six decades and was inducted in the Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. Gary is also one of five golfers to have won the 'career grand slam', winning all four Majors at some point during his career. Gary is passionate about children and through his Player Foundation, he has raised over $50 million towards the education of underprivileged. He currently resides on his stud farm in Colesberg (although he also has a residence in Jupiter Island in florida) which has received international acclaim for its breeding of thoroughbred horses. Despite his age, Gary still travels the world playing golf, making guest appearances and raises money through his charity series, the Gary Player Invitational. There are Gary Player Invitational events staged in South Africa, Europe, China and the USA.
