Definition
Gary Player (born 1935) is a South African professional golfer, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
Nicknamed the 'Black Knight' for his dark sunglasses and all-black attire, he is the only non-American to win all four men's major championships (the Career Grand Slam) more than once, with nine major victories.
A fitness pioneer in golf, Player has authored books on health and success, famously quipping, 'The harder I work, the luckier I get.'
