A championship heritage line that brings major moments into everyday wear. It is a reminder that the best stories in golf are the ones lived off the course as much as on it.
Visit 18 MajorsJack Nicklaus set the standard for greatness with 18 professional major championships. His achievements on the course became the foundation for the greatest brand in golf—and a lifetime of accomplishment as a designer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.

Jack Nicklaus received his gold Rolex Day-Date in 1967 and wore it almost every day for more than 50 years. Before each round, he placed it safely inside his golf bag, returning it to his wrist after the final putt. The watch accompanied 12 of his 18 professional major celebrations before being auctioned in 2019 for $1.22 million, with every dollar benefiting the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation.

Foundation & Impact
Giving back. A legacy in itself.
A shared life’s work
The Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation is the centerpiece of Jack and Barbara’s charitable work. Barbara has served as foundation chair and helped establish the PGA TOUR Wives Association, organizing charitable work through the golf community. Jack has described their charitable partnership as a reversal of their earlier roles: after decades of Barbara supporting his career, he became the supporter of her passion for helping children.
