[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…'Golf legend' Gary Player (South Africa) has won a legal battle against his son's company.

According to the Associated Press on the 10th (Korean time), "The legal dispute between Player and the Gary Player Group, operated by his son Mark, was resolved through arbitration at the Palm Beach County Circuit Court in Florida, USA," adding, "Player will receive $5 million (59.5 billion KRW) along with rights to his name and likeness from the Gary Player Group." Mark is the second son among Player's three sons and three daughters. The lawsuit concerns fees for the use of name and likeness rights between 2014 and 2018.

Player is a star player who achieved 163 wins across six continents and 24 wins on the PGA Tour. Notably, he secured 9 major championships. He is the only non-American player to have won all four major championships, making him a 'Career Grand Slam' winner. Only five players have achieved this record so far: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods (all Americans), and Player. Since retiring, he has been involved in course design, golf equipment, and wine businesses.
