I want to thank Mark Lammert for inviting me to his event, and I look forward to being in Oklahoma in June,” Jack Nicklaus said. “The Korn Ferry Tour and events like the Compliance Solutions Championship are extremely important in providing touring professionals a stepping stone to the PGA TOUR. The game of golf is so deep with talent, and often it’s about just getting a chance. Having the ability to compete on a tour of this caliber is invaluable in the growth of hundreds of golfers. At the same time, to use this event and golf in general as a platform to help others is a side of the game we can’t talk enough about. I applaud Mark and his team for using this tournament to benefit Folds of Honor and AutismOklahoma. My wife Barbara and I have personally been involved with Folds of Honor for well over a decade, and we both have lent our support to autism efforts in our community. So, I thank Mark and the Compliance Solutions Championship for giving back to two great causes.”
