They claim that the golfing legend breached the contract with the Nicklaus Companies. They have also allegedly called out tortious interference and breach of fiduciary duty. Furthermore, this news has completely shaken the golfing world, as Jack is one of the most respected golfers of all time
According to the complaint, Jack got around $145 million in 2017. This was to provide exclusive services and property to the Nicklaus Companies. Apparently, Nicklaus has not lived up to the mark. And they even believe he has worked against the company.
Furthermore, the Golden Bear recently released a statement. “The claims made by Howard Milstein are untrue. Our relationship has been a difficult one, at best. I have little doubt about the outcome, but I don’t intend to make this a public spectacle if it can be avoided,” said Jack.
Nicklaus recently made a revelation that the Saud-backed league offered him $100 million to be the face of the league. However, he rejected the offer as he wanted to protect his legacy on the PGA Tour. Meanwhile, accepting this offer would have tarnished Jack’s image as one of the legends of the game.
