Definition:
The Jack Nicklaus Award is presented annually to the men's college golf players of the year in the United States.
The Jack Nicklaus Award goes to the golfer selected as player of the year by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), and is presented at all levels of collegiate competition (Division I, II, II, NAIA and NJCAA).
The award has been named for Jack Nicklaus since 1998. Nicklaus played his college golf at Ohio State University, where he won the NCAA men's championship in 1961.
The college golfers who receive the award are recognized during Nicklaus' PGA Tour tournament, The Memorial.
The Jack Nicklaus Award is not to be confused with the Jack Nicklaus Trophy, which is presented to the players of the year on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.
Also, beginning in 2012, there is the Jack Nicklaus Medal. The winner of the U.S. Open has always received (in addition to the trophy and other prizes) a gold medal. The USGA in 2012 named the medal after Nicklaus.
