Gary Player: “But there is one player in particular—if I could spend just an hour with him I could make him into the best player in the world. He has so much ability but such a pitiful swing.”
Has to be Jordan he has so much talent around the greens and formerly on the greens

Himself , everything he has said in the last 20 years is directly or indirectly about how great he is at everything. This story is probably made up.

Jordan immediately came to mind
BatMean2045
I figure its a guy with real ability but no majors. Finau fits the description.

Player very likely made up this story in order to keep himself somewhere in Golf news. It’s always been about himself first, so to read such a ridiculous statement from him fits his MO.

if hubris could kill gary wouldn’t have made it out of the crib. what a fucking wank that dude is. the video with him and bryson was just all cringe for the whole thing.

Hovland? No idea, just a guess. I don’t know as much about pro players as many on here.
glee-money
He and his classless son should just go away. Loved watching senior as a kid, but that shit his son pulled at the Masters soured me on both of them.

So who are the guys he coaching that are winning majors? Just wondering.

Brooks Koepka?

Gary Player is so full of shit. Just ignore him

Bryson – lose the single length irons and the single-plane swing and the Quasimodo putting style and he’d be even better! But he’s not “on tour” – he’s on golf capades, but still – in case he ever wants to play real golf full time again!
Severe-Illustrator87
My bet would be DeChambeau.

far more likely he made this up than it’s actually any pro we know

So does Gary share what the most important part of the swing is?

Whis head is bigger? Gary Player or Sir Nick Faldo?

The greats in all sports make awful coaches (maybe except Larry Bird). They have this extra little something that you can’t teach that they *think* they can. “Why can’t you just do it like I would have?” This isn’t a sentiment exclusive to this octogenarian

Probably talking about all the players crazy amounts of side bend

Apartheid Gary.

definitely not a black person

It’s discipline, boys.

Probably talking about Spieth. He just destroyed his swing for no reason.
Deep_Macaron8480
I think he’s talking about Spieth.

I met the man once, in the business class lounge in Cape Town when catching a KLM flight to Amsterdam.
I’d love to be able to say something endearing here, or delightfully insightful. But I can’t.
He was seated two tables away from me, and I’d gotten up to help myself to the self-serve bar. As I passed his table, knowing he didn’t drink, I asked “Mr. Player, I’ve enjoyed watching you play golf over the years. May I bring your fruit drink or something else while I’m up?”
He looked at me as if I’d whispered a curse his way. “Get buggered.”
Ah. Right then.

I mean Gary player was constant touted as the best swing on tour and you want to model yourself after his swing for lots of the years he was on tour. That doesn’t mean he’s some sort of swing guru.

Gary Player is and can suck a bag of dicks.

Gary Player can eat a dick for all I care. Fuck that dude.

He’s talking about the pond man. Bang bang

Gotta be Speith. What happened to 2015 Speith 😢

Mouthy little cretin.
I’m sure he could tell the player how to cheat to win a couple of Opens as well

The cross promotion with the new Happy Gilmore movie is shameless…

Spieth?
Jordan
Jordan is a good shout
Finau
Finau? Feel like his swing has gotten janky.

I’m guessing Spieth.
What a ridiculous statement
