Gary Player will go against his own family in court.

According to the Palm Beach Post, the 87-year-old filed a legal complaint in May in Palm Beach County against his son, Marc Player, before filing a separate suit in November against his grandson, Damian Player.

The elder Player alleges the duo has sold or tried to sell his memorabilia, breaching an agreement that required the items to be returned to the nine-time major winner.

"Only with the greatest reluctance and after many years of trying to avoid this did Gary have to enforce his rights in this way," Gary Player’s attorney, Stuart Singer, told the Palm Beach Post.
