DUBLIN, OHIO - The congratulatory handshake with Jack Nicklaus that follows a win at the Memorial Tournament he hosts is a coveted prize in golf and the 18-times major champion said on Tuesday he will not let the Covid-19 outbreak get in the way of tradition.
Nicklaus, speaking at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio ahead of this week's Memorial Tournament, said he will be in his familiar spot behind the 18th green on Sunday with his right hand extended to the winner."If they don't want to shake my hand, that's fine, I'll give them a fist bump or an elbow bump, but I'm not going to give them Covid-19, so that's - I wouldn't put anybody in that position.
"I think that the Tour probably made the right decision as it relates to the Memorial Tournament. Maybe we are a little too early for the galleries. We didn't have a problem with it," said Nicklaus.
