Good on Jack for snubbing Saudis

JACK NICKLAUS yesterday revealed that he rejected two offers of more than $100million to be the face of the saudi golf tour. ‘i turned it down,’ said Nicklaus, the 18-time major winner. ‘once verbally, once in writing. i said: “guys, i have to stay with the PGA Tour. i helped start the PGA Tour”. Why would i not

support that? instead, i’m going to go support for my own benefit, see 40 guys break away from the PGA Tour at the whim of an advertising agency in saudi Arabia? What happens to the other guys? i just don’t like it. i don’t think it’s right.’ good for you, Jack.
