[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The 'former golf emperor' Jack Nicklaus (USA) and his wife were revealed late to have contracted and recovered from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Nicklaus revealed in an interview with CBS in the United States on the 20th (Korean time), "My wife Barbara and I were infected with COVID-19 last March." He explained, "We were really lucky," adding, "Both of us are over 80 years old, so we were very vulnerable to such an illness." They tested positive four times in COVID-19 diagnostic tests and underwent isolation treatment at home for a month. They were declared fully recovered and resumed outside activities only in mid-April.

'The resurrected golf emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) said, "I'm glad that both of you overcame the illness and are now healthy and safe," adding, "I was happy to see both of you throughout the Memorial Tournament." Nicklaus is a 'living legend' who has won a total of 73 victories on the PGA Tour, including the most major wins (18 wins). He is also the host of the PGA Tour Memorial Tournament held this day at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, USA.
