Wayne Player was serving as his father’s caddie and while the Masters honored his father and Lee Elder. Chairman Fred Ridley was recognizing the two golfers before the tournament teed off, and Wayne Player could be seen in the background holding up his father’s OnCore golf ball.Wayne Player elaborated on what he was thinking at that moment in an interview with Golf Digest. He said there was "zero intent" to advertise the brand.

"The only thought from that point was that it would be cool for fans to know what ball my dad was teeing off with," he said Friday. "That’s where it ends. If I’ve hurt people’s feelings then I’m truly sorry and hope they will forgive me."

Marc Player, Wayne’s brother, tweeted Sunday his brother had been banned from Augusta National and the tournament.

"Wayne has since correctly been banned from Augusta National and The Masters tournament. What 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," Marc Player wrote.

Apparently he has a history of shady stuff. He had a deposit fraud over renting a house at the Masters some years ago

Why do both he and his son look like the Mardi Gras frowny-face masks?

If they were worried about that they should have provided the golf balls...

Marc Player is a shitty brother

He reminds me of Ted Williams’ son. Ted Williams could barely stand when he threw out the first pitch at the all star game in Boston. His son almost knocked him down trying to put a cap advertising hitters.com on his head.

He also hauled him around the country to memorabilia conventions even after his health was failing, and then froze Ted’s head when he died.

Gut reaction knowing nothing about any of these guys, he's clearly advertising the brand.

Personally I don't buy the "I thought it would be cool for people to see the brand my dad teed off" but I don't know about their history with golf.
