This should be marked as a current event, in the Did you know... column, and it should also probably be locked to prevent his press army from chopping my addition. All the information presented here was summarized from George Monbiot's column in The Guardian which I read in my beloved Taipei Times. I love Wikipedia. And Mr. Monbiot wrote quite an outstanding and well-researched piece, and funny too. Nice phone work. -- Torchpratt 12:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I am very bothered by the reference: "is sometimes referred to as one of the big three" listed in the Wikipedia reference for Gary Player. Player IS one of the big three, there is no "sometimes" about it. I believe this is disrespectful to the career Gary Player has had, and the phenomenal golfer and person he is. It seems as though Gary Player is overshadowed in the media by his other two counterparts of the Big Three. It appears his success as an athlete is undervalued in favor of recognizing and celebrating the other two golfers (which I assume is a US influence).If you put "big three golf" in the search engine of google, the first two references are of "the big three" being Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Very poor phrasing.

I removed two full paragraphs in this edit. Both used this as a source [5]. That is a personal website and those fail WP:RS. What was written, was first published at the Guardian here [6]. A newspaper oped would be a RS except if one looks closely at the website [7], this was a unsolicited oped submitted to the Guardian by its author. What if any kind of factchecking it underwent before publication is unknown. Therefore I think we can't use anything from it in the Player article. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:11, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Reply posted on my talk page but better here. The point being that they are mentioned on Gary Player's official website and the PGA Tour website (and indeed here: http://www.worldgolfhalloffame.org/gary-player/?tab=achievements too).
I really don't think you are listening to what I am saying when Player turned 80. The PGA Tour ran a piece called "Gary turns 80" it lists all his wins including 5 SA PGA's and 6 western provinces opens now these wins are also listed on Player's official website. You are claiming that this is not a source ?. it's two different websites that people reference. Do you think Gary Player made these two wins up ?. Just because it's not on wiki does not mean people are wrong. Lots of these old events are incomplete. It's not about opinion on wiki it's about fact I do work on all sports on here and if you have a source you use it. It's not about people's opinions no matter if you agree with it or not 31.200.149.202 ( talk) 16:37, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I would like you guys to read that article I told you about that lists all these wins as well when you get the time 31.200.149.202 ( talk) 16:41, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I told you the link very simple "Gary Player is 80" PGA Tour. It doesn't get any easier than that. Again as I said deal in facts not your opinion of a player who says I won this or that. That is a statement you are making we have no proof that the sources are wrong 92.251.136.84 ( talk) 19:07, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Tewapack has removed Player's 9 majors wins from his Sunshine Tour section saying they were double counted when in fact they were not i had made a note of this on that section. He has reduced Player's career total to 155 now instead of 164. If he could count properly even by removing these 9 events the career total would still amount to 164. You can check this yourselves. Will one of you change the total back to 164 as the page is locked I can't do it. It's unreal this stuff it really is. 92.251.136.84 ( talk) 18:58, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Where the professional wins are listed it still States 155 that needs to be changed to 164 also. It's such a shame the page is locked 92.251.136.84 ( talk) 19:17, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I had a note there stating they were not double counted. Why shouldn't they be there do majors not count on the Sunshine Tour ? 92.251.136.84 ( talk) 19:24, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Player won the 1959 East Rand Open, see The Times or Glasgow Herald, 2 feb 1959, showing that Players list is NOT 100% correct. Will add when I get back from hols. Nigej ( talk) 11:39, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Q: Should we be including the Tyco Golf Skills Challenge in Players win totals?
It was not a recognized professional golf tournament. Accordingly, Player's win in 1995 is not counted as a tournament victory by the majority of reliable sources, including his own website and the World Golf Hall of Fame. Therefore, we should also not be including it. wjemather please leave a message... 14:46, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
I disagree with last comment why do we count the tylenol par 3 contest as a professional win then ? . I have said this for years if the masters par 3 is not a win the tylenol par 3 should not be included 92.251.182.243 ( talk) 15:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Players win is counted on the official PGA Tour site though. 92.251.182.243 ( talk) 15:09, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
What is the tylenol par 3 contest then ?. That is not a professional event then is it ?. Are you going to remove that ?, 92.251.182.243 ( talk) 15:17, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Par 3 is not a real golf tournament ffs. Why not include the masters par 3 then it is absolute nonsense. You include events on here that are not professional events at all. How was the Johnson/McIlroy relieve for driving event a professional event ?. It was a charity skins game exhibition and the tiger/manning v phil/Brady how was that a professional event another charity exhibition. These events should be removed immediately.

It’s because the TaylorMade Driving and The Match: Champions for Charity were sanctioned events by the PGA Tour.
