Fantex Holdings announced today that Jack Nicklaus, globally recognized as the greatest champion in golf history and a winner of a record 18 professional major championships, will join its Advisory Board.

"Fantex provides an entirely new kind of opportunity for today's professional athletes. I wish a platform such as this existed early in my professional career," Nicklaus said. "It allows athletes and entertainers to invest in their future while developing a group of brand advocates who will support them throughout their career. I'm delighted Fantex is available for today's athletes and to bring my experience to their Advisory Board."

"Jack Nicklaus is one of the greatest athletes in history, and we're extremely fortunate to have his expertise, advice and intellect as a part of our Advisory Board," said David Beirne, Chairman and Co-Founder of Fantex. "We're creating a truly unique platform that brings sports and business together in a way never before thought possible. Jack is a perfect partner for that mission."

Celebrated for his successes both on and off the course, Mr. Nicklaus brings to Fantex more than five decades of experience as a professional athlete, brand builder, investor, and entrepreneur. The legacy Jack has left as a player is rivaled only by the legacy he's leaving as a golf-course designer, businessman and philanthropist. He is Co-Chairman of the privately held Nicklaus Companies, which for more than 40 years has provided services such as golf-course design, the development of golf and real estate communities, and the marketing and licensing of golf products and services.
