Why is it masculine?

Jugador is masculine because it derives from Latin "iocator" through the verb "jugar" (to play). The "-or" suffix, inherited from Latin "-ator," is inherently masculine in Spanish and is used to form agent nouns denoting male players or those who perform an action. This suffix consistently produces masculine nouns in Spanish.
