Before Tiger Woods came along to re-define what golf dominance is all about, the man who used to stand head and shoulders over everybody else in the world of golf was Jack Nicklaus. They called him “The Golden Bear” and his shadow loomed large over professional golf, specifically on the PGA Toiur for over two decades, from the sixties to the late-eighties. After retiring from the Tour, he then lorded it over the Champions Tour for retired golf pros, from the late-eighties to the nineties.

He is only one of two golfers (the other being Tiger Woods) who has won all four major tournaments more than once. However, he stands alone as the lone golfer to ever win all four major tournaments at least three times. Nicklaus also owns the distinction of being the oldest player to ever win The Masters which he set in 1986 at the age of 46.
