In 1959, Gary Player won his first Open, which was his first victory in the Majors. At the time, he was the youngest ever winner of that prestigious championship. By 1961, he topped the money list on the US Tour. In 1965, he beat Arnold Palmer to win the Masters and therefore became one of only a few to win each of the four Majors. He would go on to record 10 Major victories -- including the Open 3 times, the US Open once, the PGA twice and the Masters 3 times. He has also represented South Africa in no less than 16 World Cups. Player along with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer dominated world golf during the 1960s and early 1970s earning them the title of "The Big Three."
