Jack William Nicklaus (born January 21, 1940), nicknamed The Golden Bear, is an American retired
professional golfer
. He is widely considered to be either the greatest or one of the greatest golfers of all time. He won 117 professional tournaments in his career. Over a quarter-century, he won a record 18
major championships
, three more than second-placed
Tiger Woods
.Nicklaus focused on the major championships—the
Masters Tournament
,
U.S. Open
,
Open Championship
and
PGA Championship
—and played a selective schedule of regular
PGA Tour
events. He competed in 164 major tournaments, more than any other player, and finished with 73
PGA Tour
victories, third behind
Sam Snead
(82) and Woods (82).
Nicklaus won the
U.S. Amateur
in 1959 and 1961 and finished second in the
1960 U.S. Open
, two shots behind
Arnold Palmer
. Nicklaus turned professional at age 21 toward the end of 1961. He earned his first professional victory at the
1962 U.S. Open
, defeating Palmer by three shots in a next-day 18-hole playoff and launching a rivalry between golf superstars. In 1966, Nicklaus became the first player to win the Masters Tournament two years running; he also won The Open Championship, becoming at age 26 the youngest player to win all four golf majors.He won another Open Championship in 1970.
[6]
Between 1971 and 1980, he won nine more major championships, overtook
Bobby Jones
's record of 13 majors, and became the first player to complete double and triple career grand slams. He won the
1986 Masters
, his 18th and final major championship at age 46, the tournament's oldest winner. Nicklaus joined the Senior PGA Tour (now known as the
PGA Tour Champions
) when he became eligible in January 1990, and by April 1996 had won 10 tournaments, including eight major championships despite playing a very limited schedule. He continued to play at least some of the four regular Tour majors until 2005 when he made his final appearances at the Masters Tournament and The Open Championship.
Today, Nicklaus heads one of the world's largest
golf course design
companies. Nicklaus runs an event on the PGA Tour, the
Memorial Tournament
, named after the annual honoring it bestows to individuals associated with the game of golf.
Nicklaus's books vary from instructional to autobiographical, with his
Golf My Way
considered one of the best instructional golf books of all time; the video of the same name is the best-selling golf instructional to date.
