Golf legend Gary Player has dramatically accused his son Marc of putting his trophies and memorabilia for sale on an auction site without his permission.
Player, 86, published a statement on Twitter on Monday and said that he has taken action to recover the items.
'I would like to draw the public's attention to the fact that several trophies and other pieces of memorabilia that form part of my legacy have been put up for auction by my son and ex-manager, Marc,' the statement says.
'These items belong to me and I have taken action to recover them. I have placed no items for sale - whether by auction or otherwise.'
Player faced a similar situation in 2020, when Golden Age Golf Auctions listed eight of his trophies - including his first Masters title in 1978 - on its website.
Player said they appeared without his permission but it is not know who put them there.
