A Major Champion’s Masterpiece: Jack Nicklaus, Justin Thomas Team Up to Design Panther National

Jack Nicklaus has really seen just about everything there’s to see in golf.

Major championship victories. Down-to-the-wire finishes against Arnold Palmer or Gary Player or Lee Trevino. Course designs in some of the world’s most beautiful locations. Golf shots that were plenty good, and plenty bad.

However, Nicklaus was stumped late last month when he was asked to describe the piece of property that his new course Panther National, co-designed with fellow major champion Justin Thomas, sits on in the western part of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
