Golf legend Gary Player and his family are in the middle of a dispute which has now taken a legal turn. 

Player, winner of nine major championships, is suing his son and grandson over memorabilia they have either sold or tried to sell, according to The Palm Beach Post.

In August, Player announced that his son, Marc, had put "several trophies and other pieces of memorabilia" up for auction. 

"I would like to draw the public’s attention to the fact that several trophies and other pieces of memorabilia that form part of my legacy have been put up for auction by my son and ex-manager, Marc," the statement read.

"These items belong to me and I have taken action to recover them. I have placed no items for sale — whether by auction or otherwise."

It is alleged that Damian Player solicited buyers for the memorabilia and sold or helped to sell Rolex watches for "significant sums of money."

"Only with the greatest reluctance and after many years of trying to avoid this did Gary have to enforce his rights in this way," said Stuart Singer, Player’s attorney.
