Golf legend Jack Nicklaus makes special statement in tears (!)

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus broke down in tears at the Muirfield Village Memorial Tournament, which aired on CBS in June 2024.

Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus broke down in tears when he announced that his late wife Barbara would be the winner of the 2025 memorial tournament. Nicklaus made the announcement Sunday during CBS’s broadcast of the final round with analyst Jim Nantz.

“Jim, I just can’t get out of it,” Nicklaus sobbed. It’s Barbara Nicklaus. It’s hard to leave. I’m sorry, but Barbara played a very important role in this competition.

“Everyone respects Jack Nicklaus, but Barbara Nicklaus was there for everything. “And the captains thought that since today is the 50th anniversary of the commemoration, Barbara should receive the award.

“I broke down and cried again last night.”

“I understand,” Nantz said. Without a doubt, it is an ideal solution. I was a guest at the 25th graduation ceremony.
