The Golden Bear won 18 majors and appeared on more than 20 Sports Illustrated covers. Here’s five of our favorites for SI's 70th anniversary.
celebrates its 70th anniversary, and golf has been a big part of the magazine since its beginning. As part of our celebration the SI Golf staff looked back at the magazine’s rich collection of golf covers—there were more than 150 to peruse—and selected some of the best featuring Jack Nicklaus. What's your favorite?Well, it looks like this kid might be pretty good. When this cover published in September 1960, the 20-year-old Nicklaus had one U.S.
He won the British Open that year but ironically missed the cut at the PGA Championship—his only missed cut in a major the entire decade .Less than two years after that Sportsman of the Year, Nicklaus had gone into a bit of a slump —no wins in 1979 on the PGA Tour with only one top-3 in a major —and he opened the 1980 major season with a very un-Jack-like T33 at the Masters. But at the U.S. Open at Baltusrol, the Bear roared to victory again and order was restored in golf.
