Reflecting on a Legacy | Jack Nicklaus | The Masters

by Golf Tweet



Six-time Masters champion Jack Nicklaus reflects back on his Masters legacy as he prepares for the Honorary Starter Ceremony.

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.

My favourite sportsperson.

As i watched crying, I cant help but think that will be the last time he swings it at Augusta. Not one athlete I ever wanted to emulate more on and off the course than Jack. I failed miserably.

Watching Jack Nicklaus move like this breaks my heart. I saw him in his prime and his talent was not of this world.

Wow! He jokes about results…shows he still trully cares about playing well and always will. Tradition must be treasured. A game of pure integrity holds kind it's true participants and venues.

I went back and watched the 86 masters and it took me right back to 1986 as a kid with Jack as my golf hero. Making that charge on the back nine is about as pure an experience in golf as you can get. It had it all. So nice to see Jack making the trip back to Augusta every year.

I'm scared to live in a world without both Arnie and Jack in it. That world should never have to exist…

I'm not crying you're crying.

Can something be tragic and beautiful at once?

Here is a list of golfers that are better than Jack:

How great is Jack's attitude. Laughing having fun with people and being every bit the class act he's ever been. He was always my hero growing up and now at 60 years old nothing has changed. He's still my hero and showing us all how to handle getting older with dignity class and humor. He will always be the greatest golfer of all time to me.

Shaun Beattie April 8, 2023 - 8:07 am

I CRIED MY EYES OUT WHAT A COUPLE IV ONLY GOT 24 YEARS TO CATCH UP 62 YEARS 🤣

T L April 8, 2023 - 9:01 am

Alongside Arnold Palmer the greatest gentleman of the sport. What a legend!

you can't stop the sand

Ryan U April 8, 2023 - 10:54 pm

My gosh the years have gone by at light speed. I tried to fashion my swing after his in 1972. I’m 63 today. This event gets me choked up every time.

Bert April 8, 2023 - 11:04 pm

"We welcome back our six-time Masters Champion". Now just think about that statement for moment.

John Sheffield April 9, 2023 - 3:24 am

MAGA JACK. He said he'd vote the leader of the Insurrection, again.
