Jack Nicklaus is one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Every human being knows who Tiger Woods is, golf fan or not. But, who would be the second-most recognizable golfer on the planet? One could certainly make the argument for Nicklaus, who has won a record 18 major tournaments.

Ahead of the Memorial Tournament, Nicklaus showed up to the course — which is in Dublin, Ohio — wearing an Ohio State face-cover. It’s pretty sweet looking:

Nicklaus, prior to his absurdly productive career as a professional golfer, attended Ohio State from 1957-61. It didn’t take him long to win his first major, as that came in 1962 via the U.S. Open.
