Combining golf expertise with business acumen
In 2007, Jack Nicklaus partnered with Howard Milstein to further the growth of the company and expand the branded businesses. In addition to institutionalizing the Nicklaus brands for the future, Milstein has instilled a personal philosophy of “A Brand That Gives Back” with products and partners committing to donations to help the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation and other charities.
A leading entrepreneur in the golf industry, Milstein also created 8AM Golf, a family of companies that also includes GOLF Magazine and GOLF.com, Miura Golf, Club Conex, True Spec Golf and GolfLogix. All share a common mission to help players at all levels enjoy the game more.
When Sports Illustrated named Jack Nicklaus the greatest individual male athlete of the 20th century, it was said that “his record set the gold standard for golf greatness.”
His passion, dedication, and profound respect for the game allowed him to achieve renowned success. Jack instilled the same level of performance and achievement when founding the Nicklaus Companies. For nearly 50 years, our mission has been to enhance the golf experience and bring innovative golf-related businesses and services to the consumer.
