“Never mind the Masters, the Open is by far the greatest tournament on the planet. I rate the Open at one, the U.S. Open two, PGA three and Augusta four; Four marvelous tournaments.”

Wow, what do we think of these comments? Do we think it’s too harsh or we do we think it’s right? Let me know in the comments I want to hear from you!👇🏼
The world is loosing individuals prepared to voice honest opinions
Gary player is a golf legend and a very funny guy too
Move on !!
In my opinion, the Masters is the most beautiful tournament, but the Open is the greatest tournament. My main reason is that the Masters is played at the same venue which was designed for that tournament and therefore, tough as it is, players always know what to expect. The Open is never the samne and you get champions like Paul Laurie, who on that weekend was better than everyone else in the field. Winning multiple Opens at different venues is, in my opinion, golf's greatest achievement. US Open would also rank about the Masters for 'greatness', but the Masters is the poster event for golf … in my opinion.
As for being starter, of course he should be starter, his opinion shouldn't matter in that regard and it's the media/twatter that are making this even an issue.
No 1 open,2 US open,3 PGA,4 Masters as it not a open to all golfers and it the youngest major.The masters is like a closed shop.
this new generation is way to sensitive. you can't even voice an opinion now a days. very sad
I think you should read up on the masters & how it started, and please remember Twitter is not the real world
Gary Player is a legend of the game, and doesn't need to suck the knee caps of the Masters currators! When you're like almost 90, everyone else can just KYA!!! Lol. Deal!!
Its a sad day when you can't give an opinion – I love the Masters and really look forward to it and will not move from my seat to watch it but I'm with the Jack & Gary in their comments but i do believe Gary could have maybe been less direct and explained his thought process as Jack did.
Many old players thinks their mouth carries weght
Firstly it's "The Open" not the British Open, even for our friends over the pond. 2nd he has said it the 4th best golf tournament in the world!!! That pretty high regard.
Gary Player has always said what he thinks and it becomes a sad day in golf with comments being made that he should be withdrawn as ad honoury starer to the Masters. The debate on which is the best major is always subjective but the Masters is top 50 in the world, a small collection of top amateurs, past champions and others who receive e an invitation which is a bit of a lottery. The possibility of other LIV golfers being invited underlines that the Masters organisers are not connected to the respective governing bodies of the game. However gi en the current ongoing legal challenges around LIV players not playing on the PGA and DP world tours is a little insensitive. Why have they singled out Charles Howell as he had become a journeyman pro on the PGA tour and had not won a tournament for some years. It feels a bit like the old boy network where there are better players in the world than Howell who deserve a chance and not someone who plays only three rounds and picks up $4.5 million. Given the controversy around the backing of Saudi Arabian money and the sports washing of this country's record, it also demonstrates that the Masters organisers are sadly out of touch reality and could well make a very unpopular decision.
The Masters is what is wrong in golf ,invitation only to play in the tournament so so wrong it is elitism and utter snobbery.
The British open no1, US open no 2 ,USPGA no3 , The Masters in my opinion is not a major ,good on Gary Player and his comments
Spot on with your 1234 but it's not the British open it's just the OPEN, as for Gary if he's popular with the members he will be a starter if not bye bye Gary.
As far as favorites to watch it would be the Masters, US Open, Open Championship, PGA. Historically the best would be the Open, US Open, PGA and Masters. The fact that the Masters is played on the same iconic golf course every year is what I believe enhances it's popularity so much.
Gary Player doesn't represent the integrity of the Masters. Apart from Wayne flogging golf balls, Gary is taking civil action against other son Marc and grandson Damian for selling off his loot, including his 1974 Masters trophy. A floating starter should replace him: Tom Watson last year as well as Lee Elder the year before were great to see. Plenty of great champions, including Europeans and yes, women, would love to be a starter and people would love to see them start. Who cares about ranking, the Masters is unique.
He is entitled to his own opinion. He has played all of them and that is how he rates them. For goodness sake people have to get over themselves. I'm sure Tiger or any of the other guys who have achieved what he has may have different opinions and they are totally entitled to them. 😡 😠 😠
Masters, US open, British open, the PGA
Totally blowing this out of proportion! Including your channel!
👎
World's fucked. If we can't let people have their own opinions without backlash it's a very sad day for human kind.
Best way to look at it is it's still on his top five list hahahahahahah. 😂
A plan should be developed to rotate past winners. It would be more interesting news leading up to the tournament, to see who would be picked and it be one more thing for their resume.
The Open
US Open
The Masters
PGA
Gary’s just getting back at the Masters over the infamous ball advertisement incident.😮
Who really cares about what people say on twitter. Player is entitled to his opinion. People judging his comments aren't fit to judge this legend. PS come on Alex, it's the OPEN not British open.
This is a hard one. My absolute favourite tornament is the Ryder cup, weak spot for matchplay;)
1. Masters (first major of the year and the iconic green jacket does it for me;)
2 & 3. open, us open (in my eyes they are equal, im from Norway;)
4. pga
Do you really think the masters care what player says ?
They do what they want case in point
LIV participants which gives them more credibility than the pga hypocrisy
If it wasn’t for the masters would anyone know who he is? And they make him a honorary guest every matters ceremony first drive etc F Gary player never liked him how is he a legend? He’s not fit enough to tie jacks shoes😂
We all want what we can’t have… that being said, Augusta is unreachable for us 99.9% of golfers out here. And that’s the reason I’m not a big fan of it. It’s everything what gives golf a bad reputation !
I'm guessing for what Player said has to do more with his son getting banned from Augusta. I agree with your list.
I don't think the Masters ranks as a major (big tournament – yes). It's a closed shop invitation. All participants aren't currently top players and only a small fraction of the field have any sort of chance
This ad is stupid and this guy is a joke. Keep trying dude but Maybe no one know what you mean.
