Gary Player Joins Golf Live 2012 at the London Golf Club

Feb 8, 2012 | Filed Under: General News   Share

South African golfing legend Gary Player will join victorious European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie as part of a star-studded cast being lined up to appear at Golf Live in May.

Player, who won eighteen Major titles during a glittering career that included 165 victories worldwide, will be on hand to display his full array of talents in a variety of clinics and skills challenges when it is held at London Golf Club, Kent, from May 18-20, 2012.

James Goode, Golf Live’s event director, said: “It’s our aim at Golf Live to attract some of the biggest names in golf and they don’t come much bigger than Gary Player.

“The word ‘legend’ is often used in the world of sport but it truly applies to a man who has broken down barriers during his time in the game.

“He has been responsible for taking golf to a whole new level through first his career, then his work as a golf designer, as well as devoting much of his life to philanthropic efforts. We are honoured that he has agreed to attend this year’s event, which we are planning to make the biggest and best yet.”

Player said: “The world of golf is evolving all the time and I’m delighted to have been asked to be a part of Golf Live.  The format of the Golf Live events is fantastic for the fans and for the pros because we are really able to interact with the crowd.  I am looking forward to coming back to the UK later this year - it has always been one of my favourite places to visit and compete.”

Golf Live offers unrivalled opportunities for visitors to interact with the biggest names in golf and this year’s event - the third time it has been held - promises to be no exception.

Previous shows have featured Montgomerie, Ian Poulter, Darren Clarke, Paul Casey, Catriona Matthew, Carly Booth and a host of top coaches including David Leadbetter and Denis Pugh.

Event ambassador Montgomerie has already signed up to return for 2012 and a strong lineup of players from both the men’s and ladies’ Tours is set to be announced to appear alongside him and Player in the run-up to May.

Golf Live takes place at the London Golf Club from May 18-20, 2012.
