Jack Nicklaus reveals what he ‘can’t stand’ about modern golf

There was one thing Ben Griffin did during the Memorial Tournament on Friday that didn’t sit well with Jack Nicklaus.
The 18-time major champion, of course, hosts the annual PGA Tour stop at Muirfield Village, which is the penultimate Signature Event of the season.
Griffin, 29, was tied for the second-round lead when he pulled his drive on the par-4 17th into some thick rough.
As he walked off the tee box and towards his ball, the American was approached by Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard for a walk-an-talk interview.
“Joked yesterday, I asked you what your energy levels are like,” Hoggard said, “and your wife had one answer. She said she was exhausted, you said you were fine. How are you?”
After Griffin answered the series of questions, coverage headed back to the broadcast booth where Nicklaus was a guest. Safe to say he unloaded.
“I can’t stand that,” the 85-year-old said, “the interview on the golf course.”
“Let me tell you how I think, how I feel. “I mean, seriously, here’s a guy who’s leading the golf tournament, he’s just hit the edge of the rough, he’s got a very difficult shot on a very difficult hole, and you’re talking to him about stuff that totally takes his mind off of what he was doing.
“How would you think [Ben] Hogan would respond to that question?”
Terry Gannon, who was on TV duty, quipped: “Times have changed.”
Nicklaus replied: “You would not have any teeth left if you did. “He’d [Hogan] hit you right in the face with it.”
The interviews have become somewhat of a phenomenon in the professional game in recent years.
One of the more noteworthy examples came at the 2023 Masters, when Rory McIlroy popped a pair of AirPods in his ears.
As you’d expect, it didn’t go down too well, although Rory himself seemed to enjoy the chat with CBS commentary duo Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
