Aon presents this award in honor of Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin. It is based on the famous ‘concession’ when Nicklaus conceded a two-foot-long putt to the latter, which resulted in a halved match. It was introduced this year and is awarded to a golfer for their outstanding sportsmanship and teamwork.
