Gary Player

The Black Knight Comes to Canada

It’s not just the game, it’s the spirit of the game. No one embodies both the game and its spirit better than Gary Player. Mr. Player possesses a reputation for perfection and determination, and is renowned for his warmth, sportsmanship, and dedication to his pursuits. His spirit has long been celebrated, and can now be found here in the Rocky Mountains.

The most successful international golfer of all time, Gary Player is known as the Black Knight as much for his fiercely competitive nature as for his penchant for black attire. The winner of 163 career championships, Mr. Player's history reveals a man befitting the title 'Golf Legend':

  • The youngest Open Championship winner (age 23).
  • The only player to win the British Open in three different decades.
  • Nine Major Championships titles (third all-time).
  • Nine Senior Majors.
  • Winner of the Career Grand Slam – one of only five in the history of golf.
  • Lowest score ever in professional golf (shared): 59 at the 1974 Brazilian Open.
