Nicklaus wrote, “I have known Tiger Woods since he was about 13 years old when, during a clinic I was giving at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles, I first saw this slender teenager display some of the promise that manifested into 15 majors.”
“I learned of the sacrifices his parents made, the discrimination Tiger had to face, and the passion for the game and work ethic his father instilled in him.”
