Gary Player has once again put his remarkable fitness standards on display. The South African golfer is known for his unique high-kick celebration. Now at 90, he continues to amaze people by doing the same celebration he has been doing for decades. His latest Instagram post, showing his training regimen, highlights why he can still pull it off. This also led to the golf community showing him respect.

Player uploaded an Instagram post with the caption, “No days off. GP.” The post features him running on a treadmill. He starts slow but keeps increasing the speed. At one point, he is running on the treadmill at a speed that even many youths might not achieve.

The post quickly made waves in the golf community, and even Bryson DeChambeau couldn’t resist. It highlighted the legendary golfer’s continued commitment to physical training.

The legacy of Gary Player spans across decades. While his career has seen ups and downs, his approach to fitness has always been a constant. Besides treadmill sprints, he continues to include core workouts, leg presses, and high-repetition exercises in his training.

Thanks to his consistency, he has maintained a level of athleticism that is rarely seen in golfers of his generation. No wonder he continued to win many events on the PGA Tour Champions and internationally even after turning 50. In fact, he competed on the PGA Tour Champions until 2011, when he was 75 years old.
