Ex-Rangers chief Dave King caddies for Gary Player at Old Course in St Andrews

Ex-Rangers chief Dave King caddies for Gary Player at St Andrews' Old Course

FORMER Rangers chairman Dave King has been alongside golf legend Gary Player in St Andrews today.

The ex-Gers chief has been the 86-year-old's caddy on the Old Course as part of the Celebration of Champions event. 

The special competition is on as part of the lead up to this week's 150th Open Championship at the home of golf. 

The South African pair's friendship goes way back.

King first caddied for Player back in 2000 at The Masters in Augusta.

With more free time on his hands these days, a little under two years from stepping down at Ibrox, King clearly still enjoys helping the golfing legend out.

He could be seen on Sky Sports with his yellow caddy vest on while on the greens with Player.

King was also spotted at Wimbledon on Sunday for the men's singles final between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios. 

The South Africa-based businessman was made Rangers chairman in 2015, before stepping down at Ibrox in early 2021.

Douglas Park took over the reins and has been in overall charge since.
