NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary golfer Gary Player will sit down for an exclusive Q&A session with an audience of SiriusXM listeners at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City on Monday, October 6, as part of SiriusXM's "Town Hall" series.

"SiriusXM's Town Hall with Gary Player" will air nationwide two days later - on Wednesday, October 8 at 1:00 pm ET - on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (XM channel 93, Sirius channel 208) and will be moderated by veteran golf broadcaster and SiriusXM host Matt Adams.  Player will answer questions from SiriusXM subscribers in the audience and talk about his remarkable career and his efforts to promote health and fitness.

"I am excited to sit down for an exclusive Town Hall to answer questions from the fantastic listeners of SiriusXM," said Grand Slam champion Gary Player. "My career has spanned over 60 years now, so I am looking forward to some great questions about golf, as well as diet, exercise and fitness."

"Gary is extraordinary not just for his career on the course, which is legendary, but also for his life-long commitment to healthy living and exercise," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer.  "He's more fit than most people half his age and his life and career are an inspiration to millions around the world.  We're thrilled and honored to have him sit and talk with our subscribers for our Town Hall series."

Gary Player is one of golf's greatest players, having won 165 professional tournaments worldwide.  In 2015, he will celebrate the 50th anniversary of his Grand Slam, which he won at age 29 at the 1965 US Open. Player became only the third golfer to win all four of golf's major tournaments, following Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen. Since then, only Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have added their names to this elite group.  Player has also been a renowned proponent of healthy living through proper diet and exercise throughout his entire career and is recognized as a pioneer of fitness in sports.  He maintains an incredible workout routine even today at age 78 that includes hundreds of push-ups and sit-ups daily.  He also serves as a spokesman for the health care company, Humana Inc., and is active in their efforts to fight childhood obesity and promote a healthy lifestyle.

The event is part of SiriusXM's "Town Hall" series, which features intimate gatherings with an iconic personality sitting down with a studio audience of SiriusXM listeners.  After the debut broadcast, the program will be available on SiriusXM On Demand for subscribers via the SiriusXM Internet Radio App or online at SiriusXM.com.
