Few Jack Nicklaus images are more iconic than his famous putter raise during his 18th major championship victory in 1986. Surely you remember the scene: Nicklaus, at age 46, charging on the second nine. Facing an 18-footer for birdie on the 17th hole, Nicklaus drained it for the solo lead of the tournament, raised his putter to create the now-legendary silhouette, which in turn allowed Verne Lundquist to use his now-famous “Yes, sir!” call after the putt dropped.
Nicklaus parred the 18th hole to shoot 30 on the back and eventually win the tournament at nine under, claiming his sixth win there.
As a part of the exclusive Nicklaus ’86 collection, that Nicklaus image is used as a logo on these crewnecks. They come in yellow or white, and they’re made specifically for the ultimate Nicklaus fan. You can check them out below.
