My respect for golf just went up ten thousand times.
this dude is sharp for 80 lol
Gary is sharp. I learned a lot watching this man.
Damn this guy is in phenonomenal shape for 80. Spectacular.
Gary Player..... What a true human being. Great opinions with no BS. Awesome interview!
Love Gary. Tiger must have seen this because he won the masters at 43.
I love Gary Player! What an inspiration!
the real most interesting man in the world
100
My God Gary player might have just become the #1 person I'd want to have a conversation with because this was by far my favorite herd interview!
I followed Gary's career back in the 60s and70s, he was never known as the black knight. That is a more recent name. He was however known as ' the man in black'.
A TV show Palaton wore black and went about helping people, like Gary, changing lives!
Gary Player is so humble
+Matt Coscia lol
If I had to name the least humble man in the world, I would say Gary Player. He constantly talks about himself, what he won, what he does, what he has, what he thinks, me me me . Humble? Give me a break!
+Paul Edmondson it's a joke bruh
He is the most arrogant egotistic self promoting guy in golf.
Paul - Absolutely. For example Gary constantly tells people that he's been told more times than anyone in the world how humble he is ! Only Gary can boast about his 'modesty' !!
Gary Player is awesome. Wow....what a beautiful mind and unbelievable attitude.
I hope to be as enthusiastic about life when I'm 80. Gary Player - a true classic. Well done sir!
fantastic interview
He yelled at me at a senior event because I was too close to his ball in the rough. Demanded that I move twice, no marshalls. He then hit a hooked 8 iron to 8 feet from a hanging lie in the rough. Even he was amazed. Never forget it.
Such a positive attitude.
Good ole Gary still graciously displaying his huge ego!
He should have lost that arrogance the day Ben Hogan asked him if he worked hard then proceeded to tell him to ‘double it!’
David Madras me, me, me-it’s all about me. There is a big difference between Jack and Gary.
Well said there buddy he does definitely like to talk about him self more than others say .....but what a lot of people especially on here forget or even know say is this man made some huge mistakes in Golf at certain times especially with my hero Mr Hogan. ..Gary asked Mr Hogan one day If he could have a meeting at his company Office wanting a new set of Hogan clubs etc after the meeting Mr Hogan asked Gary to shake hands on there deal agreement etc that was all Mr Hogan needed as to him this was gospel say ..... he then even after the Hogan company custom fitted his clubs to his spec took all there information that he got after his custom fitting and then unbelievably laughed off his agreement with Mr Hogan and went to Dunlop instead Mr Hogan never forgave him apparently for this and also never got a full apologie off Gary it came from one of his golf team unbelievable really
lee sale
I know the story because I used to teach golf with Gary’s nephew, Bobby Verway - he used to tell me stories about him.
After Gary signed with dunlap he was having a discussion about the swing with some fellow players, Gary decided to call Ben and asked Ben what he thought. When he called, Ben paused and said ”what clubs do you play?” Gary said ”Dunlop” to which Ben beautifully replied... ”well, go ask Mr Dunlop!
Absolutely classic Hogan! Loved it!
he does have that ego
What a man. Absolutely fantastic.
Did Gary Player just say the United States of America practiced "APARTHEID" when he was here!!!!!!????
He's referring to the Jim Crow laws, and he's right. The Civil Rights act wasn't passed until 1964, and even after that a lot of states evaded it any way they could -- some places even closed all the public schools, rather than integrate them.
That said, Player is disingenuous about his attitude toward apartheid. He eventually denounced it in the 1980's, but he supported it in the 1960's.
Just two meals a day and consistently vigorous exercise daily. No secret why he's still in great shape. Stimulation of autophagy and reduction of senescent cells through apoptosis. Great cardiovascular fitness + low adiposity + autophagy + apoptosis + anaerobic weight bearing exercise to reduce falls and accidents = fitness and zest for life.
He's in Good shape !
One of the best ever!
This man is a living legend , generous and kind hearted , throughout history there have been only a handful of people so great
So you say I met him once and he was a really rude nasty little man
The Black Knight...was ahead of the curve in fitness always and still is!
Very outspoken and usually pretty correct. Amazing that he should name Ben Hogan as the best player.. especially with the equipment they had in those early days. Would have been interesting to have heard the answer to the question of Hogan never addressing Arnold Palmer by his name but only as 'fella'. That is amazing in itself.
You brought up a very valid point about the golf equipment
How about Tiger's two years of back problems followed by 4 spinal fusion surgeries? Think that might've had something to do with it?
Very entertaining to just watch and listen to him speak. Great guy for the Gary Player Foundation
He's 80 and in better shape then anyone
Gary Players logic does not add up. when Nicklaus won in 86'...exactly how many had a reasonable chance of winning the masters? 5-10 players? today its 50, at least. the peak of golf hasn't really improved, what has improved however is the average skill level of all professionals, its a helluva lot harder nowadays to win than back in the 70's. also, id wager its easier to win the grand slam on the seniors tour since of the skill depreciation. if you are a freak (like player) then you are going to benefit more from players ailing faster than normal once you hit ur 50's ( like on the seniors tour) than on the pga tour. also, Mr Player, you are going to have more injuries the faster you swing the gold club, period (and that includes players who have more efficient swings like today compared to the 70s/80s). and that is exactly what is happening. tiger woods' current state of body is a result of having to deal with more g's of force, with more stress on the body , as well as the mental, than you or Nicklaus ever had.
Great comment and spot on. If I swing my body to hit my driver 250+ yards, I have a sore back at the end of the round. If I stick to just driving 220, I am OK. And at 57, I am an easy 50 yards shorter than when I was 25. And as I have watched those guys play in the 70's and 80's, they had great short games. And who wins the most today, players with great short games, like Tiger. But, this interview was back in 2016 before Tiger had the last back surgery which worked, so Gary may have a different opinion now.
Only difference is you're not even 15% of the player(talent wise and mentally) than any PGA professional let alone Tiger and Jack lol. Yes all those injuries on his back and wrists took a toll but having an affair with 300+ women, divorce, being in the media all day, your family being broken up and getting coached by multiple people will not help you stay focus on your job. Mentally Tiger wasn't there and that was the most important part of his game. Injuries happen in all sports. "if you are a freak (like player) then you are going to benefit more from players ailing faster than normal once you hit ur 50's ( like on the seniors tour) than on the pga tour. also," also you sound hypocritcal. What is Player supposed to do? Not win so someone guy on youtube can criticizes him for beting his respective field. This is sports on a professional level. Youre there to win and compete. You and Shane Jackson actually sound like a hating crybabies.
What a guy! says it how it is, upmost respect for Gary Player.. shame im too young to have seen him in his prime playing
This needed to be atleast an hour and a half long
great, great interview! love Gary!
Gary is crazy, he loves him some Gary! Lol
LEGEND. I love listening to him.
I can remember Player appearing on the Ed Sullivan show sometime in the very early 60's, and he did squats with a 300 pound barbell on Sullivan's stage. Player never weighed more than about 135 pounds, and maybe less then. I wouldn't be surprised if he can still do it today 50+ years later. Very inspiring for someone my age (66). Better go hit that bike trainer....;)
Good advice about eating a small dinner.
Man i absolutely love gary player. One of my favorite golfers ever. Could be a little bit more humble though lol
Absolutely love gary player. Golf's greatest ambassador.
'you had a cup of coffee and a doughnut!' .. lol . this man should be a motivational speaker for teens.
Gary Player loves himself some Gary Player
80 is the new 60.
Any man that can eat over 1,000 Crunchie bars gets my vote.....
Remember him going on the Ed Sullivan Show not long after he won the Masters in 1961. Came out and did deep knee bends with a 300# set of barbells on his shoulders. He probably weighed 130 pounds at the time.
Gary Player is an inspiration.
What a modest young man.
"Age is not an excuse". "The majors I won on the seniors tour were harder, because I had to do it after 50".
Righto, mate.
Really unfair that nobody else on the Senior Tour had to be over 50.
Congratulations Gary!
Love Gary, but saying that because he and jack did it means tiger should be able to is nonsense. The eras are so different and length is a much bigger deal than it was in his day.
Gary player is Awesome!!!
First time seeing him sitting down.
Gary is good guy.
Gary Player, had the second best shot in golf
That girl has no clue what she's talking about. She only dates bros apparently
Gary player is absolutely insane...
Retirement is a death warrant. Burnout is in your mind; in what you eat!
Gary Player is an awesome individual who enormously worthy of listening to period.
BREAKFAST LIKE A KING
LUNCH LIKE A PRINCE
DINNER LIKE A PAUPER
What a man, legend is way over used. Practice what he preaches - you'll never go wrong.
Gary has more energy than I can fathom
Just bringing something to the discussion. Yes he is confidant, and arrogant, and some what self centered but at the highest level of any sport you have to believe you are the best if you don't (DOG can't eat). Now this is a man who started strong in life and is finishing strong and didn't let people's words, or life's problems effect his personality. Not only does it take good gene's but a strong mind too he has both very unique (hear hear Mr Player). P.S If people think he's talking just to talk you forget one thing we all grew up with but then slowly lost as time goes on a PASSION for life.
"Burnt out is your attitude in life" Gary Player.80....Arnold Schwarzenegger.70...in shape!..living life.
Hogan didn't and couldn't become the icon, HOGAN, until Byron Nelson left the game at such a young age. Byron was in Hogan's head since they were kids. Just saying, sometimes Player can be full of it.
True. He improved every year though, it took him a long time to achieve greatness, and when he did he blew everyone away. That most likely would have included Nelson.
Ligerpride No, that would not have included Nelson, and I seriously don't think he would have become what he did with Nelson there. The man (Ben) was seriously messed up in the head. People seem to forget that now that he has become a myth.
+Jon Lanier ridiculously harsh! Nobody doubts the greatness of Nelson, but Hogan is a great of the game without any qualification.....the same way Snead, another contemporary of both of them, is.
Ligerpride You've never really read anything about Hogan's life outside of excerpts of news and videos'. I've read enough of the history of the game and on the life of these men. Myth's are more agreeable than reality for most. That is why you call it ridiculously harsh. You can't handle or don't know the truth.
Ligerpride Okay, with your stance of what you said. I know you are lying. Go away.
Gary always quote facts, but, there’s always a two letter word he avoids,and it’s If, if it wasn’t for circumstances, well, that might be true, but, even if they had competed, they might not have won them.
byron nelson 11 in a row- w/hogan in the mix!
coffeatt arabicaut It may be that many of the top players were in the war that year.
Actually, Nelson's streak ended the same week Hogan was discharged from the Army.
Eat those words Player
Man is legend
I have his autographed book
What a beast
best of internet
Gary loves himself talk.
This set with the host sitting 2m above the guests is absurd.
Smart SMART man 😉🥇❤️
Cool
ben hogan movie Follow the Sun staring Ann baxter and glenn ford
A Man's Man... Old school
Tigers the best hands down!
Ive always said that Tiger taking lessons killed his game. Its always the same story...trying to improve on great is always a recipe for failure.
You're right, I'm gonna stop trying to improve.
gary is totally right
a fucking legend!
Guy looks 65. Credit to him
I don't think the body is the problem, the trouble with age is that the experiences accumulate in your mind and it is more and more difficult as you get old to block them out and focus on one singular thing like you can do when you're younger.
It's too bad Tiger ever fooled with his original swing. He could've owned it if he'd have kept it. Big hook once in a while, but it was natural to him. All of the rest of these iterations have not saved him from physical problems, and they've caused an accumulation of doubt in his head that he never had.
Just look what age did to Hogan in terms of how long it took him to get off a putt. He had learned doubt and deliberation about something that should've been much quicker. It's probably true also that he had spinal issues that come with age that made putting tougher, but those were minor compared to what age did to his mind.
Lol say this now hahahaha
His comment on Hogan... shoulda coulda doesn’t equal trophies.
The "Grand Slam" is winning all 4 majors in ONE year. NO one has done that in the modern era Mr. Player. What you mean, and purposely avoid saying , is "career grand slam", and that is Hugely different than "Grand Slam"
It wasn't for you "harder to win majors over 50" because EVERYONE you played against was over 50 and no one was in your type of physical condition. No 20 something breathing down your back on the Champions Tour
Player is a legend in golf but he is full of himself sometimes
TheNYgolfer; there is the Tiger Slam and Player had something similar to that on the Seniors tour when he held all 3 recognized GS titles in 1987-1988 by winning 4 of them in a row. Nicklaus did the same thing in 90-91 winning the then 4 recognized Senior GS titles.
Gary is correct the lessons killed tiger mentally then the injuries. If tiger never took those lessons he is pushing at hot and record.
Kristine stay in your lane
Rory has won 4 majors
The senior majors are not as meaningful as the real majors. I cannot believe a man with such insights can talk such absolute nonsense. Jack wasn't interested in senior golf, his main tour golf was his measure. If he had decided to attack the senior majors he would have won 27 of them, add that to his 18 real majors and wow! Gary Player if you read this then I appreciate your 9 majors and the great golf you played but your senior majors will never ever get any merit from anyone. Tiger won't even play in senior golf when he hits 50. He will compete in the real majors until maybe 55 or 60 but senior golf majors will have no desire for him. You Mr Player are the only one who cares, nobody else.
What happened the comments of the guy on here talking gibberish trash about Ben Hogan?
Gary says he doesn't eat dinner and suggests that people do the same. A good breakfast is important, he says.. which most of us seem to ignore. Astute man. Not good for the restaurant industry, though.
Amazing that this world is the way it is. He says he was ridiculed and attacked in the States for being from apartheid South Africa, when Americans came from a history where owning slaves was the norm, even for the leaders of the country. Gary says the truth in a very refreshing way, when most couch what they say to be politically correct, which I think is a cowards way out.
Player is an amazing person, but his arrogance is off-putting to me.
keefriff99, no doubt. But when you turn 80 and are doing push-ups and crunches, oh and have won 9 majors, you get to be arrogant too!
Eh Herd, why do you put your desk so high and you look down on your guest?
I think for everything Tigers done for golf. He should be allowed to take a few years off. He needs to go do yoga, enjoy life, rest and in 3 or 4yrs return with a fire ammo load. Only reason he's not doing that is from the pressure of the golfing community. They have seen a drop in popularity and viewership without him. So they want to make it seem like he's planning to come back soon.
***** its very relaxing and helps with healing
Agreed but I think it's just psychologically. Ever since his dad's death in 06 he just seemed to not have the same fire he once had (besides that 08 US Open).
+eqsmooth that too obviously. But I'm absolutely positive it started with the death of his father. Dude looked unstoppable before it, besides the 2008 US open which is his last iconic moment to my memory.
PED's have done Tiger in... along with his off the course lifestyle.
Tiger Woods net worth.. $700 Million. Done him in oh yeah
With all due respect to this great champion - Gary is wrong about the pathophysiology of aging. Gary has longevity in his genome. Not everyone is so blessed.
Humanitarian and Change Agent
interesting but...saying Churchill was the greatest man in 100 years IS STUPID.
plus..i dont give player a pass because he says he was against apartheid.....he had the money to live anywhere in the world...he choose to stay where he was
Very True, if he truly was against apartheid, why wouldn't he name Nelson Mandela as the greatest man in the last 100 years.
And he totally ignores the good luck he has had in the gene lottery.
It takes a great foundation with genes to build on. Like jack Lalane who could still lift weights at 90. Sure, he stayed active but he had great genes to allow that kind of longevity without illness.
Why did he mention Winston Churchill and not Nelson Mandela?
Tiger 🐅 is the greatest golfer the world has ever seen
Nadal is the goat
Have clubs will travel. Gary Player. 80.
4 back and 5 knee surgeries slowed Tiger, not age
Go The All Blacks!
