Jack Nicklaus wore a glove while putting for a simple reason: to provide better grip and feel on the club.
A glove helps to create a consistent grip and prevent slipping. Slipping can affect the accuracy and control of the putt.
Additionally, wearing a glove while putting can also help to prevent blisters or calluses on the hands, which can be a common problem for golfers who spend hours on the course.
Wearing a glove while putting is a personal preference for many golfers and it can provide several benefits such as better grip, improved feel, and hand protection.
