FSU Gets Golf Icon Jack Nicklaus to Help Redesign School Golf Course

When you think about the sport of golf, the name Jack Nicklaus is one of the first names – if not THE first name – mentioned when talking about the greats of the sport. The legend won a record 18 major tournaments over his 25 years on the PGA Tour to go along with countless other wins before retiring to a life of leisure, golf course designing – and producing FSU alumni.

Nicklaus settled in the West Palm Beach area when he became a success, sending his son Steve to play football for the Seminoles as well as five grandchildren who graduated from Florida State – including recent star tight end Nick O’Leary (you might have heard they were related once or twice on TV when he was playing recently).
