Gary Player Booking Agency Profile

Book Gary Player for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Gary Player began his professional golfing career in 1953 and currently resides in Johannesburg with his wife, Vivienne Verwey. In 1957, Player made his PGA Tour debut. He began the SPGA Tour in 1985 and quickly rose through the ranks, finishing in the top 31 on the 1996 Senior Tour Money List. Notably, Player is connected to Pinewild CC in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

The player's accomplishments go far beyond his appearances on tours. He became the PGA Tour's top money earner in 1961, and with his triumph in the 1965 U.S. Open, he became just the third golfer in history to win the Masters, U.S., British, and PGA Championships. Awarded for his achievements to the game, Player was elected into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974 and got the renowned Bobby Jones Award in 1966. He also demonstrated his outstanding abilities by winning three PGA Tour events in a row in 1978.

In addition to his golfing accomplishments, Player has received many awards and medals. These include being named an Honorary Member of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in 1994 and receiving an Honorary Doctor of Law degree from St. Andrews University in 1995, as well as receiving the South African Decoration for Meritorious Service in 1982 and the South African Sportsman of the Century Award in 1990. The Hilton Hotel Lifetime Achievement Award was also given to Player in 1995.

Although golf takes up a large chunk of Player's life, he also pursues other interests in his spare time. In addition to farming and keeping his physical health, he raises racehorses. Notably, Player's golf course design firm has a green stance, emphasizing minimal site disturbance, organic uses, and the use of eco-friendly building materials in their golf course designs. This dedication to sustainability is consistent with Player's larger idea of good stewardship..
