Gary Player Says Arnold Palmer Once Pooped on a Green in Japan

Let’s be honest. When Tiger Woods isn’t playing in the biggest tournament in professional golf, you have to do whatever it takes to get people to pay attention.

Telling a story about one of the greatest golfers in history taking a dump on a green in Japan is one way to do it.

According to CBS Sports, Gary Player sat down for an interview that aired live yesterday on Golf Channel, and it was during that interview that Player told what could go down as the greatest golf story ever. You know, it’s the one where Arnold Palmer dropped a deuce on a putting green during a tournament in Japan, only to have an official blame Player for it because Palmer was a king and wouldn’t do something like that.

Trust us. It’s a lot better when Gary Player tells the story:

We would like to think the story of how Arnold Palmer came up with the drink that bears his name is just a tad more on the romantic side.
