Jack Nicklaus won the 1978 Open Championship at St Andrews to become the only player to have won each major championship three times. This record has since been tied by Tiger Woods. Nicklaus and Woods are the only two players to win three "Career Grand Slams".

Nicklaus had won 14 major titles by the time he arrived in St Andrews in 1978, but none since 1975. Nicklaus considered his performance in the 1978 Open as the finest four days of tee-to-green golf he had ever produced, and was most proud that the win came at St. Andrews, one of his favorite places to play golf.
