A Golf Legends Son Gets A Lifetime BAN From The Masters For This..
Welcome back to Sporting Focus, today on the channel we are going to talk about A master legends sun cops a lifetime ban and you will not believe why. Wayne Player, son of golf legend Gary Player, has confirmed he has been banned from Augusta National over a mistimed marketing stunt. Last year, as The Masters was honouring Lee Elder, the first black man ever to compete in the major, Wayne promoted a golf ball brand prominently in the screen. This week, he opened up about the situation to Golf Digest.
“Well, they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity,” Wayne said. “I found out that that’s not quite true. “I had probably 50 texts after that, 40 of them said I’m a marketing genius, 10 were like, ‘What the hell were you thinking?’ It wasn’t premeditated, but it was a tacky thing.” He claimed he made amends with Lee Elder before he died at 87 last year. “I’ve got Lee’s cellphone number. I called and I said, ‘You know, Lee, I love you guys.’ You know, everyone said I was disrespectful for a special moment in time for Elder. I said I was sorry, and I didn’t mean to take up his special time. And he said, ‘Wayne, you know how much I love you. Right?’ It didn’t cross his mind. That’s important for people to know.” Player also weighed in on the controversy of his father, three-time Masters champ Gary Player, wearing a “Golf Saudi” logo promoting the controversial upstart Saudi Golf League at Augusta this year. “We can judge, you know, the Arab nation for traditions that they have. I mean, where women are not allowed to walk around like we know women can walk around, they’ve gotta have a cloak over their head. I mean, I don’t know, it’s not for me to criticise them, you know?” the younger Player said. Watch the whole video for the complete details about A master legends sun cops a lifetime ban.
