The power of three: How Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus revolutionized golf
CNN
They were golf's band of brothers. "The Golden Bear," "The King" and "The Black Knight" shared 34 major wins between them and irrevocably changed the sport they played.
Through a combination of Arnold Palmer's "swashbuckling" style of play, Gary Player's sheer willpower and Jack Nicklaus' utter brilliance, this triumvirate of golf greats catapulted the game into the modern era. If the trio came to redefine how golf was played between the late 1950s and the early 1980s, unusually for sporting rivals, they also formed lasting relationships along the way -- so much so that the wives of Nicklaus and Palmer were best friends too.More Related News
