Jack Nicklaus is one of the greatest players to have ever graced the golf course. The legendary golfer, who has several records to his name, was a league above everyone else during his competitive days.

But Nicklaus, who is currently 83 years old, recently admitted that his desire to play the game is waning. He did not bring his clubs to the PGA National clinic on Monday, leaving the ball striking to Annika Sorenstam, Ernie Els, and Luke Donald.

Nicklaus made an interesting revelation about his time playing golf and his future in the sport, as reported by Yahoo Sports:

"I would like to go play again. I play so poorly anymore it's just really not any fun, and I run out of golf balls."

Nicklaus added:

"People always say they want to play how I do. Well, now they can. In fact, I don't think they want to play like I do."

The Conquer Cancer Foundation recently came out with a new program to spread awareness and raise money for cancer. The event was headlined by Ernie Els, Luke Donald, and talented LPGA Tour golfer Annika Sorenstam.

Jack Nicklaus was also present at the ‘golf clinic’ and shared some intriguing insights about the game. Nicklaus also gave some tips to the other golfers around him.

All the golfers featured on the panel seemed to be listening to Nicklaus with great attention.
