This Day in Golf History: January 21

Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer of all time, was born on this date in 1940 in Columbus, Ohio. At 86, the Golden Bear is still involved in many business interests and in his vast family activities as well as commenting on the state of the game when warranted. Also, in 1956, Jack’s friend but longtime rival on the course, Arnold Palmer, won the Columbia Open on this date.
