WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS HONORS JACK NICKLAUS AND
FINANCIAL INNOVATOR STEPHEN SCHWARZMAN
West Palm Beach, FL – Motivated by the global impact he has made in his second career as a world-class
designer, as well as his philanthropic efforts at home, Jack Nicklaus was honored with The Woodrow Wilson
Award for Corporate Citizenship before a packed room of close to 500 gathered at the Raymond F. Kravis Center
for Performing Arts. The Wilson Award for Public Service was presented to |
financial market innovator Stephen
Schwarzman.With its Woodrow Wilson Awards, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars recognizes leaders
in business and public service from around the world and across the political spectrum. Recipients share
President Wilson’s vision of improving our policies and institutions through enlightened and deliberate dialogue
and stand as living testaments to what may be accomplished when the worlds of learning, public affairs
and business come together in common interest.
Nicklaus closed his speech by acknowledging Barbara, his wife of 47 years, and his five children, most of
whom attended the event. He credited Barbara for being the guiding light for the family’s influence on lives
at the local level through her myriad charitable efforts, the most notable being the Nicklaus Children’s Health
Care Foundation, which supports numerous pediatric health-care services in a five-county area, including
Palm Beach.
