Jack Nicklaus’ son, Steven Nicklaus, scored a buyer for his waterfront Palm Beach Gardens mansion after listing the property last year.

Steven and Krista Nicklaus sold the five-bedroom, 8,337-square-foot home at 13843 Le Bateau Isle to James and Birdie Chow for nearly $6.2 million, property records show. James Chow is chief managed care officer at Oak Street Health in Chicago.

The house, with an elevator, game room, theater, bar, fireplace, 20-foot ceilings, smart home systems and more, was completed in 2018. It’s in the Frenchman’s Creek community. The estate was designed by architect Dennis Rainho of YRA Design and built by Onshore Construction, according to the listing.
