Jack Nicklaus hits a shot during the 3M Greats of Golf during the second round of the Insperity Invitational at The Woodlands Country Club on May 7, 2016 in The Woodlands, Texas.

If there's one voter Donald Trump doesn't have to worry about winning over, it's professional golfer Jack Nicklaus.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the six-time Masters champion discussed his business relationship with Trump — designing golf courses for the billionaire's commercial properties.

CBS' Jim Axelrod asked what he thought about Trump's political approach. Nicklaus seemed hesitant to talk politics, but he went on to say Trump is giving the U.S. a much-needed overhaul.

"I like what Donald has done ... he's turning America upside down," Nicklaus told CBS' Jim Axelrod. "He's awakening the country."

Nicklaus added that Trump doesn't seem as smooth or politically correct as he should be, but that the presidential hopeful can learn.

"I like the guy. He's a good man," Nicklaus said. "And certainly — if he's the one that's on the ticket, I'll be voting for him."
