Jack is so intelligent and such a no BS guy, always kind and always frank. Love him

Refreshing to hear from the great man again. His excellence is recalled with humility, but his drive and competiveness is clear to see. Certainly the best player of his generation, arguably the best ever, but more importantly a good human being.

It blows my mind that he still knows exactly what a competitor shot in a tournament that happened 60 years ago.

One look in his eyes reveals that the fire of a fierce competitor is still there. He was and is a gentleman both in victory and defeat.

His defeat was backing the Orange headed lying loser of a golf cheat ! Sad day !

Please lord take extra good care of this gentleman, Jack is so special.

Love the Golden Bear...so sharp and remembers scores...competitor scores...it’s just hard to imagine..but Jack is the greatest..

I love Jack! He is and always will be a Legend!!

Fascinating interview. Loved the part about learning how to play golf yourself.

One of the best Jack interviews I have ever seen.. Great job guys.

I love to listen to jack.

Amazing how sharp he is, remembering details he probably hasn't thought about in years. Plus no pretense, no false humility and completely authentic.

Jack is interesting because not only is he an intelligent bright man, and hey let’s be fair, there’s plenty of intelligent golfers out there, but unlike most he seems to be able express it in his conversation more so than almost all, with lots of interesting detail that’s always right on the money. He actually gave out a good tip for the golfer on how not to take golf home with them, and you know, thats actually a pretty good tip if you’re a business man too. Therefore he’ll always be good to watch. It would be interesting to know which are his favourite golf courses that he has created with his team. Maybe we should just go play them all. Actually that’s not a bad idea. Maybe brilliant.

This is one of the best interviews.. I rank it with Venturi's Hogan interview...which to me is the best.... This...very very good.

Jack is the definition of class. My father met him at his high school in 1977 when Jack’s son was playing his school Palm Beach Academy, my dads team lost but Jack still went into the lockeroom after the game and told the team how wonderful they played and encouraged them. Wonderful man he is!

Jack knows. Pay attention to this Master!

13:56 "I had some bad years in there!" lol. Classic.

What a legend

Honestly something about Jack I always loved his interviews. So much class, and so cool to be able to know from personal experience of how the green slopes and that imagery of augusta national.

Thank you for this interview!

Beautiful interview!

And all of this is why he is the GOAT

As one of the current best 80 yr old golfers on the planet I think he has a lot of interesting viewpts

im so glad we are getting these kind of converstions with the golden bear recorded and documented. one day he wont be with us and these videos and memories will all we have left.

Imagine if he won the 98masters . He was right there most of the way!

Colour blindness is a massive advantage for reading greens

The Golden Bear, one of the greats of all time.

Fascinating how he remembers that the three were tied in 1965 at 138.

Man what was it like to watch this guy play in his hayday

Tournament golf is all relative changing the ball won't alter the relative positions because everyone has to play by the same rules.

Wow... I learned a lot.

At 15:44 Jack says he made 8 on 15 the last day of the 1971 Masters. Actually he made 5, though he did make an 8 there in 1973. At 20:45 he says that of the 18 majors he won he led after 3 rounds on 12 occasions. In fact he won 10 from the front and eight from behind, though he did have co-leads at two majors (1971 Masters and 1977 Open) where he finished 2nd. Then Sean Zak tells Jack that Lema was tied for the lead after 54 holes of the 1963 Masters. He wasn't. Still, as you say, a great interview.

Good advice.

I think he was the smartest player, he always knew what he wanted to do.

Jack is the best, I even named my second son Nicklaus. I agree with the ball discussion. I feel there is no way I should hit the ball 290 yards with a 112 mph swing, same swing with persimmon driver and balata ball is 250 Yards. Our courses, which have been around for 50+ years, are becoming obsolete. It would be more feasible to change the ball and the m.o.i. of the drivers than to try to lengthen all the courses.

Bring the ball back. The longest hitters will still be the longest hitters. The average clubhead speed on the Tour back in the 80s when Dr Ralph Mann did his research on the Tour players was 117 mph. That probably would net around 265-270 yards. Now the courses are so fast (part of the problem) and more so having the same clubhead speed now gets the ball out there 300+. So driver tech and ball construction have given guys an extra 30 yards. And it isn't shaft length alone... It is a bunch of stuff but the game is being ruined or at least the courses have to be 7600 yards now to have them play as intended.

I didn't see the distance being THE factor at the Masters this week. The longest guys, including Bryson, are like 15 yards longer etc...and they do clear some bunkers, but they also get into lots of trouble, and it's fun to watch. More trouble around the 290 landing area is all you really need IMO.

Yeah they changed the break trying to fool you Jack 😂

U can play draws but that's gotta be your bread n butter shot maybe with some garlic on it lol 🤣

15:45 Jack Recalls scoring an 8 on 15 on Sunday at the 1971 Masters to finish T-2 behind Charles Coody, but in the final round broadcast he actually scored a 5 on 15. Here is the broadcast. Sorry to correct you, Jack. You are still the best! kzread.info/dash/bejne/qa2LuNipc9vck6g.html

Jack and Larry Bird are cut from the same cloth!

Great interview. My only knock on Jack was I felt he was intentionally disrespectful in regards to his caddies. Even if true he didn’t have to diminish their role in his accomplishments. Could have given them some credit. I mean you refused to consult a professional caddie but somehow your son was qualified because he could break 80. Weird

Larry Bird shot 200-300 free throws after a game

Used to admire Nicklaus until I discovered he was in love with Trump, makes sense when you saw him with those good old white boys who kept black golfers out of Augusta for so long!

I lost all respect for Jack with his recent endorsement of Trump. I have been a golfer all my life. Golf is a spiritual thing for me. Not a country club guy. One of the difficult things for me to deal with is that virtually all pro golfers are Republicans. Even Tiger. But I still love watching them play. But Jack's recent comments made me sick. To think he would support an immoral person as Trump is disgusting.

Sixteen years ago, at Barbara’s urging, the couple founded the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation. Barbara serves as chair, cofounder, and tireless ambassador, guiding the foundation in raising more than $100 million over the years to provide care to children in every state and nearly 120 countries. The foundation also supports outpatient and urgent care centers up and down the coast of Florida (including Palm Beach Gardens) and a children’s hospital at Jupiter Medical Center (the De George Pediatric Unit). “This is Barbara’s vision, but it has changed my life,” Jack says. “Charity in golf always meant a game to raise money, but now it has become more personal. I’ve gotten close to some of the kids and stay in touch. It’s very rewarding.” Helping out kids in need. That’s enough for me. Generosity and compassion for very sick kids.... helping many to have a chance to live. Enough said..... at least for me and millions of people on both sides of the isle.
