About this episode

This is the 10th year in a row that I've been blessed to spend time with Gary Player prior to Masters week. This year we talked about:

  • His search to still play better at 87 years of age.
  • How he kept his mind and body sharp back when traveling from tournament to tournament in the 1950s & 60s was much more of a grind than it is now.
  • If LIV Golf will have longevity.
  • The importance longevity should play when thinking of the greatest players of all-time.
  • Could we be embarking on a new era Big 3 with Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy.
  • We reminisce about his 1978 Masters victory.
  • The death threats he used to receive because of his stance on apartheid.
  • Dealing with fans who were actively rooting against him and Jack Nicklaus because they adored Arnold Palmer so much.
  • How great Bobby Locke could have been if the PGA Tour would have allowed him to stay on Tour.
  • And why he is the voice of my conscience.
