Gary Player was as competitive a golfer as there ever was on this planet. No player ever got so much from such a small package. He won nine major championship and hundreds of golf tournaments on a dozen different tours. And he’s still a feisty son of a gun.
I think he may have been a bit put off by all the attention that Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Smylie Kaufman were getting from their SB2K16 escapades.
Well, The Black Knight wants these youngsters to know that they aren’t the only ones that had a good time away from the course. Player tweeted this photo of him and jack Nicklaus on safari back in the day.

Looks like Jack and Gary were indeed enjoying themselves. And to prove that the youngins’ aren’t afraid to mix it up with two old dudes who happen to be two of the greatest golfers of all time Smylie extended the invite.
