After enduring what he described as “five nights of hell” in a Georgia jail, Wayne Player is eager to move on.
Player, the 56-year-old son of three-time Masters champ Gary Player, was arrested this month in Georgia on fraud charges stemming from a rental agreement he made for housing during the 2018 Masters. Wayne Player explained in a phone interview with GolfChannel.com that he was en route to South Africa with clients when he was stopped during a layover in Atlanta and informed that there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Georgia.
“I never knew anything about it,” Player said.
