Golf's Greatest Share What the Claret Jug Means to Them Ahead of The Open Championship

Some of the greatest golfers to ever play the sport are in a new video with the famed Claret Jug, the trophy given to the winner of The Open Championship. The list includes: Jack Nicklaus (3), Arnold Palmer (2), Phil Mickelson (1), Gary Player (3), Greg Norman (2), Nick Faldo (3), Lee Trevino, Rory McIlroy (1), Padraig Harrington (2), Darren Clarke (1), and Tiger Woods (3).

Jack Nicklaus, “It’s almost like holding a baby in your arms.”

Greg Norman called it “the sexiest trophy in sport.”

Gary Player said if he had to choose between the trophy and his wife, “he’d miss her.”

Tiger Woods, “It mean’s you’re holding history.”

It’s The Open Championship week, the third major of the year, and there are some young American’s who are poised to make a run at it with world number one and defending champ Rory McIlroy sidelined.

Golf wins again.
