Gary Player celebrated his 82nd birthday on Wednesday and to celebrate, he asked the golfing world to get in on his fitness addiction.

The nine-time major winner laid down a planking challenge and fans as well as players all around the world responded in kind…

Tomorrow is Gary Player’s 82nd Birthday! Join us and honor “Mr. Fitness” by planking for 82 seconds (or as many as possible)! #PLANK4PLAYER pic.twitter.com/TVCh0Ykd1Y

At the end of my gym session I remembered it was @gary.player 82nd birthday today. What better way to honor the legend and pioneer of fitness for golf than doing a plank. Hopefully everyone can join me today and #PLANK4PLAYER to honor the great man!
