Gary Player celebrates his 85th birthday and rallies golf stars to raise money to fight cancer

News

On Sunday, Gary Player celebrated his 85th birthday, just the latest milestone in a life full of them. In lieu of birthday gifts, the nine-time major champion had but one request from his fans and fellow tour pros. He wanted everyone to donate $8.50—more was certainly appreciated—to Golf Fights Cancer. The goal: to raise $85,000 for the charity, and Player and friends are well on their way to making this happen.

Using the hashtags #GolfFightsCancer and #GP85, the South African and many of the golf elite have been raising money for this noble cause. Here are just a few of the many notables that have joined in to celebrate Player and fight back.
