NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla. – Jack Nicklaus is now devoting time to the one glaring weakness in his incomparable career — ice cream.

The Schwan Food Company in Minnesota is teaming up with the 18-time major champion to create Jack Nicklaus premium ice cream. It will be sold by the pint and available in grocery stores in select markets.

The ice cream will be offered in seven flavours.

Nicklaus says it’s no secret that he loves ice cream and he loves this project. He says he’s never had so much fun in research and development.

Schwan is donating to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation. Once the ice cream launch is over, Schwan says it will donate a percentage of the proceeds to the foundation and another children’s health care charity.
