Planet Jack, a two-part Golf Channel special, follows Hall-of-Famer Jack Nicklaus on a 12-day, eight-country, 25,000-mile journey as he visits several of his golf courses currently in development around the world.

The first part of the special will cover golf course projects in Japan, South Korea, India and China. Nicklaus makes a special trip to China’s Mission Hills Golf Club where he receives a lifetime achievement award.

The second part of the special shows Nicklaus relaxing and fly fishing in the Seychelles Islands, then off to the Republic of Mauritius. The Republic of Mauritius is an island nation off the coast of Africa where Nicklaus is surveying land for a prospective golf course. Nicklaus ends his journey in South Africa, where he works on two golf courses under construction.

Travel is nothing new to Nicklaus, who has more than 80 percent of his 341 golf courses overseas. He typically logs more than 500 travel hours per year.
