South Africas nine-time Major winning-golfer Gary Player has been in the news in the last few days, first for a long-range chip-in during a round of golf with former US president Donald Trump and then for his comments about Tiger Woods changing his swing coaches.
A video clip of the 88-year-old Player, dressed in all-white, chipping-in from distance from just off the green during a round of golf with Trump went viral and was trending on X on Thursday.
It is not known exactly when Player most recently played a round of golf with Trump, but it is understood the chip-in happened at Trump Palm Beach in Florida.
Have a look at the golfing legends shot here, after which someone can be heard saying, Oh, he made it.

In the clip, Player says: Tiger Woods had his career completely ruined he won 14 Majors, the 14th, the US Open, at Pebble Beach, he won by 15 shots. Its like running the 100m in seven seconds.
