Gary Player has his life in order! The legendary golfer recently revealed that he has a new girlfriend at the age of 89. While it surprised many fans, Player explained how it was important to have love while sharing a bit of wisdom with his followers.

Interestingly, it doesn’t just end there. It seems that the young Gary Player has also jotted down the formula to lead a happy life. The simple list that the 3x Masters winner carries around his pockets consists of 11 must-do activities.

As shared by @AdamSchupak on their X account, the post featured a picture of Gary Player holding his list on a Fairmont notepad paper, probably from one of his visits to the luxury hotel. The caption on the post read, “Some great advice from @garyplayer who pulled from his wallet a list of 10 goals he has for living his best life. Under eat, laugh, meditate, and prayer among them. 💪”

The other secrets to living a long and happy life for Gary Player were “exercise”, “read”, “ice bath”, “love”, “friends”, “gratitude”, “sleep”, and “keep busy”. Considering the long and prosperous life he has led, fans may find his notes quite inspiring.

The post received a few comments and lots of love, with @MikeJosephAZ’s “LOVE “under eat”. Wish I knew that one earlier” perfectly proving how valuable the wisdom from Gary Player is for the fan.

The “love” bit has received a lot of attention recently due to Player’s comments about being in a relationship from a few days ago. The 9x major winner was last seen enjoying himself at the 2024 PNC Championship with his grandson, Alexander Hall. So how did Team Player perform in the tournament? Let’s take a look at their 36 holes across the two-day event.

Gary Player having the time of his life

At 89 years of age, watching Gary Player still playing with some great golfers was a joy to watch. Like one of his life secrets, the golf legend showed a lot of “gratitude” towards getting the opportunity to participate in the 2024 PNC Championship. The way Team Player played, it seemed like they were more focused on having a good time at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Yet, they didn’t shy away from hitting some brilliant strokes in both rounds.

The first round was not as impressive for the grandfather/grandson duo, as they only managed to finish at par by the end of the day. Despite 2 bogeys and 1 double bogey, the team was still able to manage 4 birdies in the first 18 to end at level scores. The second round proved to be a lot more fruitful as they were able to hit 9 birdies and 1 eagle on the 18th. However, a bogey on the 17th ensured they only scored -10 under par 134. The animated reaction of Gary Player on the 18th on the 2nd day after scoring that eagle was worth all the efforts for him and Alex.
