"Even Jack Nicklaus, perhaps the greatest golfer in history, makes a strong argument for why new players aren't flocking to golf.

"I'd like to play a game that can take place in three hours," Nicklaus told CNN in January. "I'd quite like to play a game that I can get some reasonable gratification out of very quickly -- and something that is not going to cost me an arm and a leg.""

Why Tiger Woods May Be Finished - Bloomberg Business

Read the full article and see the visual analysis:
Why Tiger Woods May Be Finished - Bloomberg Business:

"All his life, Tiger Woods has been chasing the number 19. That’s how many major championship wins he needs to top Jack Nicklaus and unequivocally become the greatest golfer of all time. He has just five to go, but as his game falters — he dropped out of the Farmers Insurance Open on Thursday, the 6th tournament he’s failed to complete in eight PGA starts — there’s a bigger, scarier obstacle in his way: His next birthday."

Read the full article: Jack Nicklaus is cultivating a 'Golden Bear' empire built on golf - Golf - SI.com:

"The Nicklaus wines were born through sociable chitchat with Bill Terlato, who has a home at the Bear’s Club, the swank private enclave Nicklaus developed in Jupiter. (Michael Jordan built a cozy 37,000-square-foot cottage there.) “Jack likes to do business with friends,” says Terlato, CEO of his family wine company. “It creates a tremendous loyalty -- you want to do right by Jack. I’m concerned about his reputation as much as my own.”

The wines have sold around 10,000 cases annually since 2010, but Forbes pegs Nicklaus’s net worth at more than $250 million, and the wine deal is not going to change his life from a financial standpoint. So why do it? “Because it’s fun to walk into a restaurant and order your own wine!”
he says."

"if he gets the 5 inches between his ears squared out."
