“Ben Griffin’s a nice player, Sepp Straka is a nice player, Nick Taylor is a nice player … [Scottie Scheffler] knows those guys are not in his league.”

  1. I tried to surprise my partner with breakfast in bed. It was sweet until I accidentally spilled orange juice on the sheets. Nothing like a sticky situation to start the morning🌺

  4. When the GOAT speaks it’s time to listen and not waste your life talking about breakfast and spilled OJ. God, please give you a life.🙏

  7. Jack would look at the leaderboard and if he saw……Trevino, Watson, Floyd, Miller, Weiskoph, Player, Palmer, Casper charging he would be in a completely different mindset……he is absolutely correct in his statement

  15. This was actually a really out of touch response. He compares a guy who just beat Scottie by four strokes literally last week and says if he had Xander up there….as if Xander doesnt have only one top 10 this year and is a completely invisible nonfactor every week right now.

  16. Looking at it from the other direction, Sheffler is beginning to create inevitability of the sort Tiger created for many years. Not sure if it matters that much who’s chasing right now. If that trend continues, look out—Sheffler may have quite a run. Even DeChambeau and Rahm couldn’t dent it at the PGA. The U.S. Open will be interesting, though Oakmont will be a real challenge for Sheffler.

  17. Honesty is the best policy. Even if other players are “butt hurt” get over it. Mr. Nicklaus is honest and to the point. I’m sorry but these players today can’t compare to the legends of the game. I’m only a 6 handicap.

  18. Jack Nicklaus, a great, is not shaming the other top tier professionals of current time.

    In my opinion, he is stating that Scotty is a ONCE in a GENERATION talent. When he hangs it up, he’ll be amongst Tiger, Nicklaus, Palmer, etc but 99% of the other professionals will not.

    It’s not taking a shot at any of the other current professionals. They’re all getting paid big money, and are far better at golf than myself or anyone I play with but that doesn’t place them on the “Mount Rushmore” of golf.

  21. Scottie Scheffler has definitely become a dominant force in the last 2-3 years. But the truth is that the level of competition on the PGA Tour is not as strong as in the last 20-40 years.
    The tour should be renamed the “Scottie Scheffler/Ted Scott Benevolent Fund Tour”!
    Of course for some reason Rory didn’t play last week, but who else can beat Scottie.
    The standards were way better before Tiger (1980 – 1996) and also when Tiger was in his prime (1997-2009).
    Bernhard Langer, Sandy Lyle, Ian Woosnam, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Price, Nick Faldo, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Fred Couples, Greg Norman, Paul Azinger, Davis Love, Justin Leonard, David Duval, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Sergio Garcia, to name a few.
    Nowadays you don’t have players with the same ability, and of course LIV golf has disrupted the game. The other major issue nowadays is the prize money is ridiculous and far too much. A guy wins a tournament or two on the tour and he earns $3 million-$5 million. That leads to complacency and a lack of motivation for more glory. It’s killing the game.

  22. I think Scotty has got to that point where he is almost embarrassed to win , too composed and zero pressure , just another day at the office ⛳️

  23. I certainly will defer to Jack on golf. I agree, that the name up there does make a difference. It will affect your play. It becomes a mind game. Ever so slightly. I do not care what a # 1 golfer says. They can say it doesn't matter. But it does. They are just giving respect to whoever is up there.
