For over four decades, The PLAYER Group has proudly staged world-class charitable events across the globe, combining the power of sport with meaningful impact.

From the prestigious Nelson Mandela Invitational in South Africa to The Big Three Invitational—hosted by golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player—and the Gary Player Invitational series across Asia, the UAE, Europe, and the USA, our boutique events have consistently united elite sport with global philanthropy.

Each event is designed not only to entertain but to make a lasting difference. Proceeds benefit The PLAYER Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged children’s education around the world.

Looking ahead, we are honored to be developing two new legacy events:

The Ian Player Indaba – A gathering to raise awareness and funds for critical wildlife conservation initiatives.

The Samora Machel Invitational – A tribute event in Mozambique honoring the late president and supporting community development in his name.

At PLAYER, we believe that great events create lasting impact. Join us in continuing this tradition of purpose-driven excellence.
