Number of PGA Tour events that he won. His first was the 1958 Kentucky Derby Open and the 24th was the 1978 Houston Open.

Consecutive years that he won at least one event on a recognised professional tour. From 1956 to 1982 he won a tournament and although he won a four-man Skins game in 1983, it snapped the official streak.

When he won the 1965 US Open he became the first non-American to win all four Majors and did so at a then youngest age of 29. Only Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have eclipsed that.

The consecutive streak of cuts he made in Majors, starting at the 1970 PGA Championship and ending at the 1980 Masters.

Played in a record 46 consecutive Open Championships, which he won three times, in 1959, 1968 and 1974, when he won by four shots – the widest of all his Majors' margins – at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

Appearances at The Masters, which was the most of all the Majors he played in. He was a winner of the famed Green Jacket three times.

This was the lowest round he shot in the Majors, both regular and Seniors. It came at the 1984 PGA Championships at Shoal Creek. It’s also the age he was when he made the cut at the 1999 Masters.

Gary Player married his wife Vivienne on 19 January 1957 and remained married to her for 64 years until she passed away in 18 August 2021. They had six children.

The most common score that he shot in his 150 Majors, shooting 71 a total of 92 times. Next most common was 73, which he posted 69 times in his career.

Ended his career having played in 150 regular Majors, making the cut 102 times, winning nine titles, finishing runner-up six times and being third on three occasions.

... and counting. Gary Player, now 90, has shot his age around 3800 times – in July he stated it was 3721 – and he averages a score of around 73. His ambition remains to beat his age by 18 shots.

He is the world’s most travelled athlete and has logged at least 16-million air miles (26-million km) flying around the globe.
