The design of the sock takes cues from Nicklaus’ outfit that April day and uses the imagery of Nicklaus waving his club aloft as the ball rolls in.
They are described as:
In 1986, 46-year-old Jack Nicklaus, also known as "The Golden Bear," was playing for his sixth Masters victory, 18th major title, and 73rd PGA tour win. The Jack Nicklaus Masters sock commemorates an 18-foot birdie putt on hole 17, which capped an eagle-birdie-birdie run, giving Nicklaus the lead, and ultimately, the Masters win. The sock features the legendary image of Nicklaus raising his putter in celebration on the 17th hole, along with the golden bear logo embroidery on the ankle. Celebrate the greatest golfer of all time with the Jack Nicklaus Masters crew sock.
