Jack Nicklaus is an American professional golfer with an estimated net worth of $280 million. Nicklaus is regarded as one of the world’s most accomplished golfers of all time. He has won a total of 18 major golfing championships. He is 5’10″ and 190 pounds. Jack William Nicklaus was born on January 21, 1940 in Columbus, Ohio. Nicklaus was introduced to the game early on when his father was rehabbing from a broken ankle. The child took to the game immediately and would go on to be a prodigy, shooting a 51 over 9-holes at a local course at the age of 10. From there, Nicklaus would go on to have a storied amateur career, winning the Ohio Open at 16 and the Jaycees International Junior Golf Tournament at 17 before taking the U.S. Amateur title in 1959. He attended Ohio State University and won the NCAA Championship in 1961.
Even before turning pro, Nicklaus, nicknamed “Golden Bear,” let seasoned professional golfers know he was a force by finishing second in the 1960 U.S. Open. He would win the tournament as a professional for the first time two years later (1962) and the next year collected his first of six Masters tournaments and the PGA Championship. In 1966 he would go on to take the last of the four majors, the British Open. Nicklaus became the most accomplished golfer in history collecting 18 major championships, was named the PGA Player of the Year five times as well as a 73 total PGA Tour wins, 10 on the Champions Tour and 22 additional titles. He was the leading money winner for 8 years and is a member of the Golf Hall of Fame.
As unprecedented as his professional playing career was, Nicklaus has come close to matching its success after he stopped competing at the highest levels. Most notably, his company, Nicklaus Design, has developed hundreds of courses across the planet. He has also started apparel and wine companies, written several books and been involved with numerous philanthropic endeavors. In 2005, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. Nicklaus was married in 1960 and has five children.
