Nicklaus tweets Jack-inspired Peanuts Christmas strip

Oh, to be so famous even Charles Schulz is dropping your name, around Christmas no less.

Jack Nicklaus on Thursday tweeted a Peanuts comic strip originally published on Dec. 11, 1968. You can figure out why:

Just for reference, Nicklaus picked up his 26th and 27th PGA Tour victories in 1968, taking the Western Open and American Golf Classic in back-to-back weeks in August. He also won the second of his six Australian Opens that year.
