Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>CAPE TOWN \u2013 Gary Player\u2019s son, Wayne, has reportedly been banned from The Masters after taking part in an apparent marketing ploy during honouring of Lee Elder, the first black golfer to compete in the competition.<\/p>\n

According to news.com.au, the 58-year-old Wayne, who was caddying for his father, was seen holding up a sleeve of OnCore golf balls, a company he has been an ambassador for since 2019, during the honouring of Elder.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Player\u2019s brother Marc took to Twitter to apologise for the incident, which was widely condemned.<\/p>\n

Can’t think of a tournament in recent history that’s had a more contrasting beginning and end. pic.twitter.com\/mED73R1tSN<\/p>\n

Marc posted: \u201cWayne has since correctly been banned from Augusta National and The Masters tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a shame. What an embarrassment. What a bad decision to allow him on the first tee after years of similar shenanigans. My apologies to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

A great golfer, celebrated at a great tradition. Less could be said for Gary Player\u2019s caddie trying to flog golf balls in the background ? https:\/\/t.co\/1zm0SyPt3F<\/p>\n

Marc also spoke out earlier this year after his father received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from controversial former US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
