Earlier this year, the 87-year-old Player sued his son, Marc, for selling memorabilia without his permission.
The Palm Beach Post reports that the golf legend has now also sued his grandson, Damian, who is Marc’s son, with a suit filed in Florida in November.
Already sold in 2021 auctions against Gary Player’s wishes were his 1974 Masters Tournament trophy for $523,483, South African Open trophy for $48,841, 1965 U.S. Open irons for $17,947 and his golf shoes from his 52nd Masters for $1,171, according to court filings, per the outlet. Gary Player severed his business relationship with his son Marc in 2019, according to the father’s attorney, Stuart Singer.

**I wouldn’t pay over scrap value for them. Ditto, his little league trophies.**
Come on, man!
Don’t you know that elite athletes are gods? /s
I’m impressed at people that are tops at real world jobs. For example: sit in a truck stop some evening and watch drivers back their big rigs into tight parking slots. You’ll see the full spectrum, from those that take multiple stabs, getting out over and over to go back and look; and the rare one that can back BLIND SIDE in at the first try without leaving the seat (And this was before all these remote rear view cameras came to be).
Money is ruining sports. It’s certainly destroying college football.
I think you’ll see the top two dozen or so schools operating as a NFL minor league and the rest will revert to the status of the old days.
A lot of schools will drop football, it’s an expensive program to run, and if you don’t generate revenue from it, no point keeping it, unless there is some agreement for those upper tier schools to share the revenues across all schools.
Player should have a trophy room in his home with all the memorabilia, not put it all in storage.
Yes. But the people who have them now paid real money for them. The "kids" should have to reimburse the purchase price, but things get sketchy with the retrieval of stolen property.
Thanksgiving and Christmas must be awkward.
