Jack Nicklaus: In His Own Words | The Masters

Six-time Masters champion shares his memories of Augusta National.

---

Since 1934, the Masters Tournament has been home to some of golf’s greatest moments. Amidst blooming azaleas, towering pines and flowering dogwoods, the first full week of April ushers in a stage unique to golf and to sport. Over four days and 72 holes, the smallest field in major championship golf competes for a chance to capture the Green Jacket and a place in Masters history.

An incomparable legend. Not only in the game of golf, but also as a teacher and as a person.
Thank you, Mr. Nicklaus.

Jack, you have etched your name into trophies around the globe, enthralled spectators with your amazing shot making made and broken records and left us with memories that will live on for all time. You will always be The Golden Bear. Seeing you out at Augusta National is such a beautiful moment for us all. Thanks for the memories, Jack. There will always be one name that everyone will remember in golf and that name, is Nicklaus.

Without question, Jack will always be the G.O.A.T… his history in this game, the integrity of this man, and his respect for and Mastery of the game… the win at the 1986 Masters is unmatched… there will never be another JACK NICKLAUS. Thank you for so many fantastic memories Golden Bear 🙏🙏🙏

So many professionals in sport could learn from this man’s humility, and that is despite his accomplishments. It will be a sad day when Jack is no longer with us.

Seeing Jack & Seve embrace after their battle down the straight in 1986 after one of the greatest masters ever was an abiding memory. Thanks for everything Jack 👍

Jack and the Masters, two icons that make golf a game like no other..

[hayyarbrough]

My whole life watching Jack playing golf.... it's really kind of weird that Jack's been part of my life and it seems like we've been best friends forever.... absolutely love this man

[allengrant]

The best who has ever been!
A ferocious competitor
A gracious loser
A humble winner
A champion without equal
But a reverent and appreciative FAMILY MAN !!

Seeing Jack in this video at his current age I see his red eyes. Not sure if that’s a result of illness or him reminiscing with tears as he’s talking about what the Masters meant to him, I get choked up myself. Legend.

[Mark-fyr]

The greatest sportsman of the twentieth century.

[zlatysmola]

What a champion and arguably golfs greatest ambassador

[mattyjay]

Thank you Jack. A true gentlemen of the game.🐐

[perserverance]

Can't imagine what the early Legends would have done with today's equipment and ball. Jack was hitting it over 300 yards with a wooden driver.

As a kid, I grew up watching The Golden Bear. Masters weekend was scared at our house. Masters Sunnday was a Watch Party. Lots of great snacks and dinner on trays.
As an adult working in Atlanta, I was lucky enough to be a guest for a day at The Masters. One of the biggest thrills in my life 🎉
Living in Atlanta we had great tournaments during the year! Went to every one and was often gifted tickets. Such happy days watching the Pros compete ❤

The Golden Bear is the greatest golfer of all time.
Thank you Jack !!!👍🇦🇺

[shawnchief]

He's the GOAT in my eyes and I grew up in the 90s with Tiger. Jack's total career was the greatest, Tiger is my favorite golfer of all time but Jack is the GOAT.

[steviechampagne]

We love you Jack!

The Golden Bear is the greatest shining examplar of the game of golf.

Long Live Jack Nicklaus!
