After receiving so much love and support throughout his career, Gary Player has always tried to give back to the world. Through his charitable foundations and trusts, he has made a significant impact on communities. And today, he made another big announcement about his next initiative.

Talking to his followers on X, Player tweeted, “For as long as I can remember, education has been one of my greatest priorities. We believe every young person deserves the chance to receive a great education. That’s why, in the year ahead, we’re launching a powerful new legacy initiative to support inner-city youth with access to outstanding learning opportunities. Together, we can change lives.”

In the video attached, he spoke about the importance of education in this generation and how impactful it is in determining the trajectory of someone’s life. While the Black Knight didn’t give any specifics regarding his plan, he did reveal that he’s raising money for the youth. The video ended with the ‘Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation USA’ logo.

As the Player mentioned in the video, his foundation has already changed the lives of 40,000 people. Having turned 90 in November 2025, he looked determined to make a larger impact on people’s lives as he patted his abs, saying, “I work out, and I still play good golf.”

As far as the Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation goes, their goal is not just to provide a good education to young children. They do a lot more than that.

Gary Player’s foundation makes underprivileged children better

Gary Player launched The Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation in 2021 in memory of his late wife. His goal with the foundation was to improve the lives of underprivileged children. And he thought of three ways they can contribute to their lives.

According to the foundation’s website, they cover the three necessities for every child: housing, healthcare, and education. They believe that by assisting them through these three stages, they can help them rise out of poverty.

So far, the foundation has raised over $100 million in South Africa and the United States of America. They primarily do so through golf events like the Gary Player Invitational. Visitors to the online portal can also directly donate through the link provided on the website. The foundation also distributes funds to other beneficiary trusts like the Place of Hope, the Foundcare Riviera Beach, the Family Reach, and many more.
