The World Golf Hall of Fame will honor its Global Ambassador, Gary Player, in a special exhibit beginning Tuesday, March 21, 2006 , during The Players Championship week. The exhibit will explore the international impact of the world's most traveled athlete.

“Golf has provided me so many opportunities over the years, and continues to do so,” said Player. “I am honored to be a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and even more so to have my story told in this upcoming special exhibit.”

The exhibit, “Gary Player: A Global Journey,” will celebrate his career, provide a glimpse of his life off-the course and delve into his mission to help underprivileged children around the world and in his native South Africa. Personal artifacts, memorabilia, photography, other artwork and video will be featured throughout the comprehensive exhibit.

“Gary Player's influence on the game of golf around the world is truly immeasurable,” said Jack Peter, senior vice president and COO of the Hall of Fame. “In 50 years since he turned professional—over 160 professional victories on six continents later—he continues to make his distinguished mark on the sport, both on and off the course. We are eager for this opportunity to tell his story.”

The exhibit will remain on display through the beginning of 2007.
