Bloomberg News reported on June 30 that "Jack Nicklaus will
feature on a 5-pound note to be issued by Royal Bank of

"No living person other than a member of the British royal family

``That's pretty special,'' Nicklaus said on a conference call today. `
`The tribute that RBS has done for me is unbelievable and one

"Nicklaus said he could think of no better way to end his career
than at the so-called home of golf.

``It's a very special place.''
