ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Gary Player is a big believer that one can't go through life without love. Even at age 89, he's never too old to find it. Player happily shared his big news at the PNC Championship.
He has a new girlfriend.
“I said I wanted to live until 100. Now if I live to 91, I'll be happy,” Player said with a laugh. “Isn't that amazing that at 89 you can find a girlfriend? She loves everything I love — golf, fishing, gym work, reading, opera, everything.”
Her name is Susan Waterfall, she lives in New York and she's 83. Player's wife, Vivienne, died in 2021. They had been married for 64 years.
