Jack Nicklaus was born in 1940 in Columbus, Ohio, and maintains a home there and in Florida. Widely regarded as the greatest golfer of all time, he has achieved a record of twenty major championship victories, consisting of two US Amateurs, six Masters (also a record), four US Opens, three British Opens, and five PGA Championships. The winner of more than 100 professional tournaments around the world, Nicklaus was named Golfer of the Century in 1988.

Ken Bowden was the editorial director of both Europe’s and America’s premier golf magazines, and has collaborated with Jack Nicklaus on eleven books. Since first watching Nicklaus compete in 1959, Bowden has witnessed a great many of Nicklaus’s achievements first-hand.
