Gary Player was golf’s first globe-trotting superstar and likes to boast he’s the most traveled human in the world. But what’s it like to actually fly with a 9-time major champion? We hopped on his private jet en route to the Masters to talk about life, golf, Augusta National and more.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT GARY SAYS TO WAYNE BEFORE HE BOARDS THE PLANE AND THEN ARRIVES AT AUGUST!!! Listen boy…be on your best behavior god damnit!!
God bless Mr. Player! A living legend and living golf history. 🙏🏼
When this man speaks, I listen.
Shockingly selfish, flying in a private jet with every other seat completely empty. All while destroying the climate.
Does Gary own the horse or did he just bet on it?
His spirit and “high on life” energy, especially at his age now, has always amazed me. I can’t imagine losing your wife of 70 years and still going on chipper and doing all the same stuff. There’s so much I envy about Mr. Player.
For me the greatest golfer in history and such great person to listen to….
lifelong nerd
I enjoyed be a passenger on this flight. Thank you and God bless.
When it comes to dream foursomes, Gary is definitely in mine. I want to hear all the old stories
Great video! Gary Player is a gift to humanity, learn by his example, he is not perfect but better than most! Short in stature but powerful enough in determination to overcome most obstacles in golf and life!
What a tremendous gentleman!
“ Life is the greatest gift bestowed upon Man or Woman “. True words Gary, true words
Why are you giving this clown time?
Players always been such a great story teller
PR exercise after bitching about the place.
Goosebumples! 😂
Would love to be on that plane with Gary and Trevino!
I just eat the snickers with the wrapper as well
The best attitude towards his passion and life.
True legend 🙌
Those muffins look nice
Mr. Player is a most unusual man and an underrated legendary golfer.
Insufferable human
The Man!
Great yes. The greatest. No. In any event, stop talking about yourself…nobody cares!
I'm reminded of the sad loss of Payne Stewart. Still very much in his prime, taken from the sport too soon…also in a private plane.
Thanks for sharing….It would be amazing to get to spend 30mins talking with Mr Player.
One of the coolest people to ever live
I hope Gary sees this comment. I was a very good golfer. A real nice swing. I shot around par. Now, you might think, that there would be a 2-stroke difference between me and Gary. But there was really a 10 stroke difference. I will tell you why. Gary's clutch short game. If I was allowed to play the first 2 shots on each hole, and Gary could finish each hole, Gary would shoot a 65. If Gary was allowed to hit the first two shots and I finished up for him, I would shoot a 75. That's the difference between an amateur who can really strike the ball, well and a pro like Gary, who can play all 72
Really so full of himself seems like a big jerk.
Ego maniac ..
