In 2020, Nicklaus and his wife listed a 5,500-square-foot custom-built home in Aldie, Virginia for $2.69 million. The Nicklauses never lived there full time and it is believed that they built it as a place to stay during the Creighton Farms Invitational, an annual golf event hosted by Nicklaus to raise money for children’s health charities.
