He has won just about every P.G.A. golf tournament the tour has to offer. Jack Nicklaus has done so much for the game of golf. Too many times people only see Jack for the records and the championships instead of the change that has taken place in the game of golf since the Golden Bear stepped to the stage in 1961. Nicklaus has done everything for the sport from writing best selling books to designing some of the world’s best golf courses. Jack Nicklaus is not just a great golfer, but also a man who has helped make golf what it is today. Jack Nicklaus was born on January 21, 1940 in Columbus, Ohio.
