When the Korn Ferry tour came to Norman, so did 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus and I had the opportunity. sit down with the all-time great, talk about the state of the game and his post-career impact on the game!
“It’s hard to explain what the difference is, but the whole game, not just the tournament part, but even the amateur part of the game, has changed dramatically,” Nicklaus said.
After an illustrious career, Jack continued to push the game forward. Although he didn’t win at Augusta and pushed the limits of what fans thought was possible on the course. Now he works hard behind the scenes to promote golf!
“And I saw what it does and how it helps these kids,” Jack said. “Barbara and I are blessed to be able to do this and help others through our platform.
He continued: “So we are fully committed. We love it. And it was a blessing in our lives. It’s given to us, let’s focus our later years to be able to help others.“
Although always a supporter of the game, he emphasizes the importance of sports and other activities and encourages to be the best regardless. of the game or career
“Whatever sport you want to play or whatever you do in life. You know, you want to do it because you love it and you really love being a part of it,” he said. “I mean, if you want to be a baked cookie, you have to be the best cookie.“
