Nicklaus took up golf at the
age of ten, shooting 51 for his first nine holes. He won
the first of six Ohio State Junior titles at the age of
twelve. While attending Ohio State he won the US Amateur
title twice (1959, 1961) and an NCAA Championship
(1961).
Nicklaus began his professional career in 1962 and his record
of eighteen wins in major tournaments is as yet unmatched. He
is one of only five golfers to win all four current majors in a
career, and the only one to have won all four majors more than
once. In 1986, he became the oldest player to ever win The
Masters. In all, he had 48 top-3 finishes in majors, including
19 second places and nine thirds, 56 top-5 finishes and 73
top-10 finishes. In 1998, at the age of 58 he finished an
impressive sixth in The Masters. He is second to Sam Snead on
the all-time chart of players with the most PGA Tour wins,
having accumulated seventy-three titles. In seventeen
consecutive seasons from 1962 to 1978 he always won at least
one PGA Tour title and always finished in the top ten on the
money list. He topped the PGA Tour money list eight times:
1964, 1965, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976.
