Gary Player has filed one other lawsuit against his own bloodline.
Earlier this 12 months, 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’s 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, based on court filings, per the outlet.
Gary Player severed his business relationship along with his son Marc in 2019, based on the daddy’s attorney, Stuart Singer.
In the brand new suit, Damian Player is accused of trying to seek out buyers for collectibles which are being held in storage in South Carolina, in addition to having sold or help sold plenty of Rolex watches for which he received “significant sums of cash.”
“Only with the best reluctance and after a few years of attempting to avoid this did Gary should implement his rights in this fashion,” the attorney, Singer, said.
“I would really like to attract the general public’s attention to the indisputable fact that several trophies and other pieces of memorabilia that form a part of my legacy have been put up on the market by my son and ex-manager, Marc,” Gary Player said in August. “These things belong to me and I even have taken motion to get better them. I even have placed no items on the market — whether by auction or otherwise.”
Darren Heitner, who’s the lawyer for Marc Player within the suit, told the Palm Beach Post that the suit is in its “infancy.” Heitner said that he just isn’t representing Damian Player, whom the outlet couldn’t reach for comment.
Wayne Player, a unique son of Gary’s, has a lifetime ban from Augusta as a result of an ill-timed promotional stunt at The Masters in 2021.
During his profession, Gary Player won 24 PGA Tour titles, including nine major championships.
