A Florida jury awarded Jack Nicklaus $50 million in his defamation lawsuit against Nicklaus Companies on Monday.

The 18-time Major winner was suing the company he used to own after the business falsely claimed he had entertained a $750 million offer to become the public face of the LIV Golf League upon its launch in 2022.

Not only that, but Nicklaus also said his former business partners actively shared the fabricated claims with a number of media organizations - a move which damaged his reputation and, according to the jury, exposed the 85-year-old to “ridicule, hatred, mistrust or contempt.” You may like
