During the recent PNC Championship, Gary Player was asked for his opinion on the future of golf 30 years from now. Player is one of the living legends of world golf. His professional career spans more than 60 years and his numerous achievements in the sport make him a more than authoritative voice when it comes to assessing the present and future of the sport.
The man known as the "Black Knight" described a future in which players will achieve things never seen before, saying (via Golf Digest),
"The incentivization, all the prize money they play for now, and with the ball going so far, and the metal heads, and these guys now, at college... When I started weight training in pro golf, they all said I was a nut. Even my best friend [Arnold] Palmer and Nicklaus said to me 'you cannot do weight training and play golf.'
