Golden Bear just doesn’t cut it anymore

It's not that I don't respect what Nicklaus has done in the game. Any winner of 18 major titles, miles ahead of anybody else, deserves to be regarded as golf's greatest player, but that's where I pick my argument.

Nicklaus ceased winning majors as long as 19 years ago. In the intervening years, he has never been in the winner's enclosure.
