Perhaps the first true modern “sports icon” in every since of the word. Arnold Palmer evidently passed away today. I understand he was no choir boy earlier in his life (like most of us) but he had a way with people and a warmth to him that shone through especially in his later days.
He seems like some to me like someone who would have done great if he ran a hot dog stand.
On a personal level, his arc and the photos are a reminder of what awaits most of us males if we are lucky.
Sorry to hear this.
Some of my professional livelihood came from a successful corporate affiliation with the Arnold Palmer brand. He was as great a man as golfer.
No greater ambassador for the game of golf. A class act who never passed up a chance to sign autographs or smile for a picture. My mother had a life-long crush on him, and my dad didn’t mind a bit !
Rest easy, Arnie – you’ve earned it…
