Gary Player is a legend. And CostaBaja is proud to be partnered with Gary Player Design in the creation of our world-class, 18-hole golf course coming soon to the resort, the first ever of its kind to be built in Mexico. Gary Player is known all over the world as a champion and is regarded as one of the greatest players in golf history. With a career of achievement that spans over five decades, Gary Player has won 163 tournaments and is one of only five golfers to have won all four of golf's modern Majors at any time during their career. This achievement, often referred to as a Career Grand Slam, is a feat he shares with a select few, including Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. Gary Player is known for being a strong-willed and tough competitor who keeps a cool head under pressure. Gary Player is renowned as much for his dedication to the principles of excellence as he is for his golfing accomplishments. He is recognized worldwide as an uncompromising perfectionist who settles for nothing but the best. He is rated by most of his fellow professionals as the best bunker player in the history of the game and is often referred to as "determined." Player joined the Senior’s circuit in 1985 and completed what he calls the "Senior Slam: the British Senior Open, and US Senior Players Championship, the US PGA Seniors and US Seniors Open. Most recently, the "man in black" or "Black Knight" completed his 51st Master’s Tournament, beating the previous record held by Arnold Palmer, making Gary Player the golfer who has now participated in the most Masters Tournaments in golf history.
