Nine-time major winner Gary Player said he ranks the Masters last of the four golf major tournaments. Player won the Masters three times in his career.
"But, never mind the Masters, the Open is by far the greatest tournament on the planet," Player told the Daily Mail before pausing."I rate the Open at one, the US Open two, PGA three and Augusta four. Four marvelous tournaments." Gary Player laughs as he arrives at the tenth hole during the first round of the 2022 PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.
"It’s the youngest of the majors,’ Player said."The others are steeped in tradition and history, and they still have to catch up. Nothing comes to the top without time."The British Open is the oldest of the four Majors, played in Scotland in 1860. While Player may think the Masters has some work to do before working its way up the major rankings, the golf world will still be watching when the 2023 edition tees off on April 6.
