I'd imagine there's a teaching pro out there somewhere who's 100 or older. Just over 6 months ago golf still had 4 major champions over 90. Down to 1 now. The deaths of Don January (May), Betsy Rawls (October), and now Jackie Burke leaves just Kathy Cornelius (who won the 1956 US Women's Open). Joyce Ziske (won the Women's Western Open in 1960, when it was still considered a major) will turn 90 in May, if she makes it. The oldest living major champion on the men's side is now Gary Player who just turned 89 eight days ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's surely fav to outlive Nicklaus at any rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
