Jack Nicklaus started his golf career with a bang in 1961 before hitting a hard downhill slide in 1968. He spent three years waiting to win another championship. Then 1971 rolled around, and he won the PGA Championship, outperforming the competition easily.
Over the next decade, Nicklaus set records on the green and etched his name in the history books. In 2005 he retired, having won a record 18 majors. He was named the player of the year six times and is considered the best golfer to ever. Coming up, find out how many gold medals Mark Spitz won before turning 22!
