“The Golden Bear” doesn’t need much of an introduction to anyone familiar with the game of golf. Many have considered him the greatest to have ever played the game. He is very simply, the most decorated golfer of all time. After joining the professional ranks in 1962 he amassed an impressive 73 PGA titles, including 18 major championships. If it weren’t for a certain player named Woods we could only dream of someone with such dominance in our era.
Jack began his career with a lofty goal and a worthy opponent. “Jones is the greatest golfer who ever lived and probably ever will live,” said Nicklaus in 1960. “That’s my goal. Bobby Jones. It’s the only goal.” And that is what he became, a Bobby Jones. The greatest of his era.
