On the 80th birthday of Jack, a few well-known golfers shared a few words. This is when Tiger Woods came up with a priceless quote. “Jack’s said a lot of things to me over the years — a lot of ’em I can’t tell you. But 80 years? Wow.”.
Talking about Jack's caring nature, Tiger said: “He’s given me advice here and there, and when we talk, it’s often about life in general. He always wants to know: How’s everything going? How are you playing? How are you swinging? What are you working on?”
Further talking about Jack's contribution to golf, Tiger added “What he’s done for the game of golf in 80 years is incredible, and it’s not only what he accomplished as a player. Don’t forget how many golf courses he’s designed around the world”.
When it comes to all-time PGA Tour wins, Tiger Woods is ahead of Jack Nicklaus by a comfortable margin. Woods has 82, while Nicklaus has 73. However, the latter is the all-time leader when it comes to major championship victories.
