Gary Player and the ‘loose’ leaf
Gary Player was competing in a tournament in the first Skins Game golf event during Thanksgiving 1983 in Arizona, Scottsdale. It was a lucrative exhibition match that had the biggest names in golf competing. Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson were the opposition as the players tried to win the most skins, which would be accompanied by huge amounts of cash.
After squaring up three previous holes, the players came to the 16th with $120,000 in the pot. Watson was in an advantageous position to win the money with both Nicklaus and Palmer out the running. The only man who stood in his way was Gary Player who was just off the green with a leaf affecting the lie of his ball. Player moved the leaf and chipped it to within 8 inches to tie the hole with Watson.
Player, would go on to win the 17th hole and the accumulated $150,000 and it was then that Watson accused Player of cheating by removing the leaf. Watson’s argument was that the leaf was not a loose impediment and by doing so Player had given himself an unfair advantage.
Watson’s claims fell on deaf ears as he didn’t bring it up at the time.
