Photos: Golf legend Gary Player through the years

View photos of Gary Player throughout his Hall of Fame career, including nine major victories.

Gary Player is a golf giant.

A nine-time major champion, Player earned the nickname “The Black Knight” thanks to his dashing looks and outfit choices on the course.

Born on Nov. 1, 1935, and with more than 150 worldwide career wins to his name, Player has been much more than just a champion golfer. He has dedicated his life to growing the game throughout his native South Africa and the world.

Player became just the fourth golfer to earn a career grand slam with his win at the 1965 U.S. Open at Bellerive. From there, he would go on to five more majors. As a senior, Player would tack on nine more major championships.

Following his playing career, Player continued his work as a global ambassador for the game. Sharing stories, swing tips and even showing off his fitness prowess, Player has been an endearing figure within the game throughout eight decades.

From helping underprivileged children across the globe to having a hand in designing over 400 golf courses, Player has made an impact well past his wins on Tour.

Photos: As she heads to retirement, here’s LPGA star Catriona Matthew through the years

Matthew is the winningest Scottish player to ever compete on the LPGA.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Catriona Matthew tried to quickly walk over the Swilcan Bridge one last time to avoid the spotlight. She was lured back for a proper sendoff, however, waving to fans who’d gathered on the 18th – on the ground and on the rooftops – to celebrate a long and successful career.

Matthew, the winningest Scottish player to ever compete on the LPGA, played her final round on the LPGA over the Old Course on Friday, closing with birdie to finish it off at the AIG Women’s British Open in style.

“Obviously had decided this was my last one, and to finish with a birdie,” said Matthew, “I couldn’t have scripted it any better.”

The 54-year-old shot 2-over 74 on Friday, in her 100th round at the AIG, to finish the tournament at 7 over, three shots outside the cut line. There’s no question she got the worse end of the draw.

“I think I’m just quite pleased that I actually came out and played respectably today, the last couple of days, and I don’t want to have to try and do that again next year,” she said. “So the right time.”

Matthew won four times on the LPGA and is the only Scot to ever win the AIG Women’s British Open. She did so only 11 weeks after giving birth to her second daughter in 2009.

In 2019 and 2021, the steady and sure Matthew led Team Europe to back-to-back Solheim Cup victories.

Next week, she’ll captain the Great Britain and Ireland team at the 43rd staging of the Curtis Cup at Sunningdale Golf Club.

Here’s a look at her storied career through the years:

Photos: Gaby Lopez through the years

Lopez isn’t anywhere near the end. In fact, she’s improved almost every season in terms of world ranking.

Gaby Lopez turned 30 years of age on Nov. 9, 1993, and as of that milestone, her list of career accomplishments was impressive:

  • Three LPGA titles
  • Two Olympic appearances
  • Six seasons finished inside the top 100 in the world
  • Career earnings over $4 million

And Lopez isn’t anywhere near the end. In fact, she’s improved almost every season in terms of world ranking and said after she won the Dana Open in 2022 that she’s still on the rise.

“I just deep down believed that the best years of my golf are just getting to the surface,” Lopez said at the time. “And deep down I believe that. I’m not sure when or how far or how long it’s going to take me or how far I’m going to get, but I just deep down believe that that’s what I feel.”

Here’s a look at the career of Lopez, who was born in Mexico City, then played for the University of Arkansas, where she had three tournament victories and finished as an NCAA individual runner-up:
