Much of the golf world watched in anticipation as Tiger Woods made his long-awaited return at the Hero World Classic earlier this month, but Jack Nicklaus couldn't care less about his comeback.

The 18-time major winner was blunt when asked if he's interested in watching Woods.

"I'm not interested at all," he told Golfweek's Kevin Casey while competing with his grandson, Gary Nicklaus Jr., at the PNC Father/Son Challenge.

It's nothing personal against Woods, though.

"Do I wish (Tiger) well? Yeah, but I'm not interested in watching him," Nicklaus said. "I've watched him play golf for 20-something years, why would I want to go watch more? I don't watch anybody play golf."
