(14) Jack Nicklaus continues to manage the 
Memorial Tournament in his home State of Ohio, in 
which contributions generated through the aid of 
over 2,600 volunteers are given to support Nation-
wide Children’s Hospital and close to 75 other Cen-
tral Ohio charities. This has garnered more than 
$5,700,000 for programs and services at Nationwide 
Children’s Hospital since 1976, so that Central Ohio 
will continue to have one of the best children’s hos-
pitals in the United States. 
(15) Jack Nicklaus serves as an honorary 
chairs of the American Lake Veterans Golf Course 
in Tacoma, Washington, which neighbors a Veterans 
Administration hospital and is designed for the reha-
bilitation 
of 
wounded 
and 
disabled 
veterans. 
Nicklaus has donated his design services for the im-
provement of the course, and raised contributions 
for the addition of nine new holes (the ‘‘Nicklaus 
Nine’’), the construction of the Rehabilitation and 
Learning Center, and the upgrade of the mainte-
nance facilities. The course is considered the only 
one in the United States designed solely for the use 
of disabled veterans. It served over 30,000 veterans 
and their families in 2011 to use the healing powers 
of golf to help them rehabilitate and recreate. The
hope is that American Lake will serve as a pilot pro-
gram for the more than 150 Veterans Administra-
tion hospitals nationwide. 
(16) Jack Nicklaus serves as a spokesperson 
and Trustee for the First Tee program, which brings 
golf to children who would not otherwise be exposed 
to it, and teaches them valuable, character-building 
life lessons through the game of golf, and is a na-
tional co-chair of the organization’s More Than a 
Game campaign. 
(17) Jack Nicklaus remains active in tour-
nament golf, although he retired from major cham-
pionship competition in 2005, when he played his 
final British Open and his final Masters Tour-
nament, and led the United States to a thrilling vic-
tory in the President’s Cup. He consults often with 
the PGA Tour, and no fewer than 95 Nicklaus 
courses have hosted a combined total of almost 700 
professional tournaments. In 2013 alone, Nicklaus 
courses will host 17 PGA Tour-sanctioned events. 
His Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio will be 
hosting the Presidents Cup in October 2013, making 
it the only club in history to have hosted all three 
of the game’s most prominent international team 
competitions—the Ryder Cup, Solheim Cup and
Presidents Cup. It is also expected that his course 
at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in New 
Songdo City, South Korea, will be named the host 
venue for the 2015 Presidents Cup—the first time 
that country has hosted an international team com-
petition of this stature
