Did Tiger Woods ever play against Jack Nicklaus?

Yes, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus played against each other several times during their respective golf careers.

However, most of their head-to-head matchups came during the later years of Nicklaus' career, when Woods was just beginning to establish himself as a dominant force in the game.

One notable instance where the two faced off was at the 2000 PGA Championship, where Woods won by a record-setting margin of 15 strokes. 

Nicklaus, who was in his sixties at the time, also played in the tournament but did not make the cut.

Overall, while their careers did overlap, there were not many occasions where Woods and Nicklaus were both at their peak and competing against each other on a regular basis.

Tiger Woods, who is often considered Nicklaus' closest rival, has won 15 major championships to date.

Their careers did overlap for a number of years, as Nicklaus was still competing on the PGA Tour when Woods burst onto the scene in the late 1990s. 

However, by that point, Nicklaus was in his 50s and was no longer the dominant force he had been in his prime.
