Nicklaus, winner of 18 majors, won at St. Andrews in 1970 and '78.
Nicklaus played his last Masters in April, missing the cut by five strokes. On his last hole, he brushed away tears and hugged his oldest son, Jackie.
"I expect I'll be just as emotional at St. Andrews," Nicklaus said. "I'm a sentimental old fool. I enjoy being part of history and what's going on, but I don't consider myself competitive any more.
