Jack Nicklaus
Born January 21, 1940 · 86 years old
18 major championships, the Golden Bear
Golf fans have been attending metaphorical funerals for his generation for forty years, and the Golden Bear supplied endless 'he's from another era' material. He is still here, and his swing analysis remains sharper than most tour pros.
86, still designing golf courses and grumbling about putting greens.
