In 2008, Gary Player etched his name in the record books for another impressive Augusta record. That year he appeared for his 51st Masters Tournament which put him at the top of the list for most all time appearances. He surpassed legend Arnold Palmer who held the record prior at 50. While Palmer’s appearances were consecutive, Player would have only one absence which came in 1973 when he was recovering from surgery. He played in his final Masters Tournament the following year in 2009. Player was sure to leave a strong legacy at Augusta with his remarkable performances. He won the tournament four times and was the first international champion. In 1978, he won his final green jacket at the age of 52 which at the time made him the oldest golfer to win the tournament.
