Lengendary golfer Jack Nicklaus weighed in this week on the upcoming election and made an endorsement:

President Trump appreciated the support:
Jack, this is a Great Honor. Thank you! https://t.co/60WWISm5hs

For non-Democrats, that’s another hole-in-one for Nicklaus:
God bless you, and thank you, Mr. Nicklaus. https://t.co/moRblkCHXt

Tell me Jack Nicklaus isn't a decent man. He has always been a class act. https://t.co/uMI8ouF1Tq

But since this is social media we’re talking about, there was some serious triggering after Jack’s endorsement of Trump:
The woke have officially declared golf to be a racist sport.
Don't be woke. https://t.co/SXj8e4a3JG

The disgraceful comments here in response to Jack Nicklaus endorsing Donald Trump are a tremendous argument for shutting down Twitter…. https://t.co/vjV6J3QwTZ

The blue check Resistance sure didn’t appreciate Nicklaus’ throwing the full weight of his golf bag behind President Trump:

Arnold Palmer was a great golfer who also will be remembered for inventing the delicious combination of ice tea and lemonade. Jack Nicklaus is a dumbass who can drink a tall glass of shut the f*£# up. https://t.co/RA0n4dbj9P

Didn’t Trump give huge tax cuts to people who own golf courses? That must be a pretty penny for you and him. Meanwhile millions of Americans are hungry. https://t.co/qLFoySibVb

This statement is embarrassing. I guess being rich is just that important to you.
