THE NAME, Jack Nicklaus, needs very little introduction in the world of golf. He holds the most number of major victories in history with 18 titles and has won 73 times on the PGA TOUR. The 84-year-old is also known as the Golden Bear and has carved his legacy by building and designing numerous golf courses around the world.
He also supports philanthropic and charitable efforts in the U.S, including Play Yellow which encourages fans to wear yellow on Sunday to celebrate his longtime connection with the colour and a Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals campaign with the goal to raise funds to help the 10 million kids treated at local children’s hospitals each year.
While his name is synonymous with the game, below are 10 things that you probably didn’t know about Nicklaus as he gets ready to host 73 stars of the game at this week’s US$20 million Memorial Tournament presented by Workday.
