(2/2) It’s hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King.

Thank you Mr. Palmer for being The King
Thinking about AP. NO ONE was a bigger deal, but he never big timed anyone. Total salt-of-the-earth soul. #ArnoldPalmer

I first learned of Arnold Palmer from my father. He was a member of "Arnie's Army." He didn't even play golf -- and he loved "The King."
