With the passing of Jack Burke Jr. last year, Gary Player is the oldest living Masters champion at 89. He also takes the annual Golfweek Masters Survey more seriously than just about anyone.
Last year, we ran his entire response as a Q&A, while this time, we’ve scaled it back to our nine favorite answers, but don’t fear, we promise his “back nine” of answers will be sprinkled in the Masters Survey with the other responses.
And with that, it’s officially Masters Survey season. Enjoy!
