His illustrious playing career features nine major championships on the regular tour and nine major championships on the Champions Tour, which justifies why he is widely considered to be one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Golfing fans will be able to see some of the best national and international players in action right on their doorstep, and what’s more, it won’t cost them anything at all.
Rumour has it that Player, too, will be visiting the greens of White River Country Club come August 30 to September 1.
