The last time the two played together was in 2000 PGA Championship, which won by Woods. The 14-time major winner also won the year before that and in 2001.
The pairing of Woods and Nicklaus was a result of decision by Morgan Stanley not to entertain clients and employees at the annual tournament in Dublin.
Prior to this year's tournament, all 54 amateur spots were filled in the pre-tournament program event.
The Golden Bear acquitted himself quite well, even though he was playing with four of the best players in the world: Mickelson, Ernie Els, Kenny Perry and Sean O’Hair. They were competing for $25,000 to benefit The First Tee, as was the star-studded fivesome a hole behind: Woods, Rory McIlroy, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk and Johnson.
It was a day for catching up as much as tuning up. All the players wore portable microphones, and their comments blared over speakers.
