Jack Nicklaus — the player, golf course designer, businessman, philanthropist and good-will ambassador — is synonymous with greatness in golf. He has been named “Golfer of the 20th Century” or “Golfer of the Millennium” by nearly every major golf publication in the world. He was also named Individual Male Athlete of the Century by Sports Illustrated and one of the 10 Greatest Athletes of the Century by ESPN. In June 2018, he became the fourth person in history to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Congressional Gold Medal and Ford Theatre Society’s Lincoln Medal. His 50-year career included 120 professional tournament victories, and he is the first to win all the modern majors on both the regular and senior tours. Having designed more than 300 courses, he was also voted 2017 Golf Course Designer of the Year by World Golf Awards. 

Tireless philanthropists, he and his wife, Barbara, are the guiding light for the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation which supports numerous pediatric health care services across the country. They have five children and 22 grandchildren and live in North Palm Beach, Florida.
