Gary Player has turned up the heat on Jack Nicklaus ahead of their Masters ceremonial tee shots.
While Nicklaus may not see their annual outing at Augusta National as anything more than tradition, Player – who is four years older than Nicklaus – certainly sees the competitive side of it.
Since 2012, the pair – along with Arnold Palmer – have officially opened The Masters. While Palmer will sadly not be there this year, Player is already winding up Nicklaus as to who’ll drive it further with, of course, a reference to his physical shape.
Chuffed when you know keeping in shape just helped you drive by your friend’s ball 😜 See you in two weeks @TheMasterspic.twitter.com/jtERxJrzt7
