However, O'Leary is one of six children or grandchildren of Nicklaus who went to FSU. Another of his sons, Steve, played football at FSU from in 1981.

The multi-million dollar redesign on the Don Veller Seminole Golf Course is nearly complete. Mother Nature is doing her part, too.  And the end product for golfers is a brand-new course that is the first Jack Nicklaus Legacy Course in North America.
The Seminole Legacy Golf Club at Florida State University is scheduled to open Tuesday, March 10, according to course management. 
Only the 18th hole is left from the original routing. However, Nicklaus Design was able to utilize most of the old golf corridors during the $8 million renovation.
The university still owns the course, which is home to the Seminoles’ men’s and women’s golf teams and is operated by ClubCorp.
Seminole Legacy Golf Club  is scheduled to open in the spring of 2020.

This is a false statement. The course was funded jointly by the university and Seminole Boosters. There has been 30 donors that have committed over $5 million through restricted gift commitments which can only be used for this project. The golf course project has not taken anything from the football program.
