    I am no fan of Gary Player. But surprising take from him. Rips LIV and Cam Smith. I would've bet folding money his opinion was 100 percent opposite of what he said:

    Does this give a new definition to the phrase, "Don't hate the Player, hate the game?"

    Player wore a Saudi golf cap when he was honored at the Masters.

    I'm just happy to read something from Gary Player that doesn't talk about his 1000 pushups a day.

    Totally agree. Did not see that one coming. But glad it happened.

    Would you rather him not pour some of the mountains of cash he's getting into his Foundation? Because he will, and I think that's a pretty cool thing.

    A friend played a pro-am with Player. They spoke seldom. At the end, my friend asked Player for recommendations on his game.

    "Take a lesson, then quit," Player said.

    How do we know Player isn't jealous that he didn't get the $100 million offer that Jack did to be a LIV ambassador? I truly don't care what he thinks and I don't love how golf media outlets flock to his quotes.

    No, you can bo back to disliking him. His statements were incredibly hypocritical, considering he partakes of the Saudi blood money.
