What courses Vivienne Player’s death?
Vivienne Player, the First Lady of South African Golf, died on August 18 after a protracted fight with pancreatic cancer, with her family by her bedside and her husband holding his sweetheart. She was married to the best athlete in South Africa, but she was also quite an athlete, having competed in swimming events as a young girl and excelling in the backstroke.
“The unthinkable has occurred. Vivienne, my 64-year-old wife, my childhood sweetheart, my support system, and my soulmate, lost her fight with pancreatic cancer. The profound pain I feel at having lost the one person who has always meant the world to me is something I am unable to adequately express. Since the day I first laid eyes on Vivienne when I was 14, she has been a constant in my life.
While I was around the world playing golf, she raised our six children almost entirely on her own and supported my job wholeheartedly. She was a lovely human being who cared so profoundly for people and lived her life in service to them. She was a loyal wife, a loving mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother.
I learned about the importance of love, faith, and trust from Vivienne. She imparted these similar beliefs to our children, who were fortunate to have a mother who upheld them constantly.
I was certain that when we first met that it was love at first sight, and it ended up being a love tale of a lifetime. When we are ultimately back together, I think it will still be the case. I would miss my Viv greatly until then,” Player said.

Vivienne’s estimated net worth is unknown. Her husband, Gary Play has an estimated net worth of $250 million.
