Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus will not participate in the Par 3 Contest at Augusta National next week, telling Golfweek (h/t Sports Illustrated's Bob Harig) that he "just can't play anymore."
“In many ways it’s the start of the golfing season. It certainly is the start of the major championship season. Even though I don’t play anymore, it’s fun to be there. It’s fun to go to the Masters dinner. I’m done with the Par 3, but toward the end of my career, I used to play every year. But I just can’t play anymore.
