Jack Nicklaus reckons he wouldn’t have been as successful without his wife (
Golf icon Nicklaus, 84, credits his own career success to wedding his wife of 64 years Barbara, and feels every player benefits from having the right partner in their life.
They met at college before he went on to win a record 18 majors and achieve a total of 73 PGA Tour triumphs. He feels he wouldn’t have had such a successful career without her by his side.
“That set the tone of my career,” Nicklaus explained in his annual press conference ahead of the 2024 Memorial Tournament. “Not everybody gets the right partner.
“And I had somebody who loved me, cared for me, supported me, and you know, that was really important. So that was a big thing to me. I don’t know that anything that was anymore important than that to me.
“I give her a lot of credit for what I’ve won because, you know, a golfer goes out on Tour and if you’re not married, if you got your family, you get support, your caddie or whoever, whoever it might be, that’s very important to you.”
Woods was already at the top of his game when he got hitched to Elin Nordegren in 2004. He’d won eight of his 15 majors by that time, which sees him second in the all-time list behind Nicklaus.
