Jack William Nicklausis considered by many to be the greatest professional golfer of all time. And he is known as “the Golden Bear” because of his stocky build and his golden-blond hair. Nicklaus has lifted the nickname as the name of his company, Golden Bear International, which uses the image of a golden bear ass a logo. “A reporter called him‘the Golden Bear’because he is with the blond and burly hair like a bear”—Akron Beacon Journal: Golfer’s fame gains freeway a new name.

From the golf life of Jack Nicklaus, he reached the numbers of wins by tour to 114 as the professional wins and wins 18, the best results in major championships, such as the Masters won：1963,1965,1966,1972,1975,1986; U.S. Open won：1962,1967,1972,1980; Open Championship won: 1963,1970,1978; PGA Championship won: 1963,1971,1973,1975,1980. Nicklaus holds the record for the most victories in major championships. He was continuously ranked as the word’s number one golfer on McCormack's World Golf Rankings, having won seven professional major titles between 1962 and 1967. From 1978, while much younger players such as Tom Watson and Seve Ballesteros came to be ranked higher than him, Nicklaus continued to regularly challenge for and indeed win major titles until 1986, representing a full quarter-century playing at the very highest level of his sport. Nicklaus played the four PGA Tour major until 2005, when he appeared finally at The Open Championship and The Masters Tournament.

Nicklaus also participated in many off-course activities, including golf course design, book writing, and rinning his own tournament on the PGA Tour. His book is regarded the golf guide book all time. "If Tiger Woods is smart, he'll pick up a copy of My Story and use it as a tour guide for his own career". -- Mike Fields, the Birmingham News.
