He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like Tiger Woods can.

More quotes by Jack Nicklaus

Jack Nicklaus
1960, I was 20 years old, and I was leading the U.S. Open. Now, I wasn't leading by several strokes, but I was leading the U.S. Open and playing with Ben Hogan, had a very good chance to win, nine holes to go, I was leading. I was still leading with six holes to play.

Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
Jack Nicklaus
Through years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
Jack Nicklaus
That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.
Jack Nicklaus
Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
