Arnold Daniel Palmer
(September 10, 1929 ? September 25, 2016) was an American
professional golfer
who is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most charismatic players in the sport's history. Dating back to 1955, he won numerous events on both the
PGA Tour
and the circuit now known as
PGA Tour Champions
. Nicknamed "
The King
", Palmer was one of golf's most popular stars and seen as a trailblazer, the first superstar of the sport's
television age
, which began in the 1950s.
Palmer's social impact on golf was unrivaled among fellow professionals; his modest origins and plain-spoken popularity helped change the perception of golf from an elite, upper-class pastime of
private clubs
to a more populist sport accessible to middle and working classes via public courses.
[1]
Palmer,
Jack Nicklaus
, and
Gary Player
were "The Big Three" in golf during the 1960s; they are credited with popularizing and commercializing the sport around the world.
In a career spanning more than six decades, Palmer won 62 PGA Tour titles from 1955 to
1973
. He is fifth on the Tour's all-time victory list, trailing only
Sam Snead
,
Tiger Woods
, Nicklaus, and
Ben Hogan
. He won seven
major titles
in a six-plus-year domination from the
1958 Masters
to the
1964 Masters
. He also won the
PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award
in 1998, and in 1974 was one of the 13 original inductees into the
World Golf Hall of Fame
.
[2]
Early life
[
edit
]
Arnold Daniel Palmer was born on September 10, 1929, to Doris (nee Morrison) and Milfred Jerome "Deacon" Palmer
[3]
in
Latrobe, Pennsylvania
, a working-class
steel mill
town.
[4]
[5]
He learned golf from his father, who had suffered from
polio
at a young age and was head
professional
and
greenskeeper
at
Latrobe Country Club
, which allowed young Palmer to accompany his father as he maintained the course.
[6]
[7]
Palmer attended
Wake Forest College
on a golf
scholarship
.
[8]
He left upon the death of close friend Bud Worsham and enlisted in the
U.S. Coast Guard
, where he served for three years, 1951?1954. At the
Coast Guard Training Center
in
Cape May, New Jersey
, he built a nine-hole course and had some time to continue to hone his golf skills.
[9]
After Palmer's enlistment term ended, he returned to college and competitive golf.
[10]
Palmer won the 1954 U.S. Amateur in
Detroit
and made the decision to turn pro in November of that year.
[8]
"That victory was the turning point in my life," he said. "It gave me confidence I could compete at the highest level of the game."
[8]
When reporters there asked
Gene Littler
who the young golfer was that was cracking balls on the practice tee, Littler said: "That's Arnold Palmer. He's going to be a great player some day. When he hits the ball, the earth shakes."
[8]
After winning that match, Palmer quit his job selling paint and played in the Waite Memorial tournament in
Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pennsylvania
. There, he met his future wife, Winifred Walzer, and they remained married for 45 years until her death in 1999.
[8]
On November 17, 1954, Palmer announced his intentions to turn pro.
[8]
"What other people find in poetry, I find in the flight of a good drive," Palmer said.
[8]
Career
[
edit
]
Palmer's first tour win came during his 1955 rookie season, when he won the
Canadian Open
and earned $2,400 for his efforts.
[10]
He raised his game status for the next several seasons. Palmer's charisma was a major factor in establishing golf as a compelling television event in the 1950s and 1960s, which set the stage for the popularity it enjoys today.
[10]
His first major championship win at the
1958 Masters Tournament
, where he earned $11,250, established his position as one of the leading stars in golf, and by 1960 he had signed up as pioneering sports agent
Mark McCormack
's first client.
[10]
In later interviews, McCormack listed five attributes that made Palmer especially marketable: his handsomeness; his relatively modest background (his father was a greenskeeper before rising to be club professional and Latrobe was a humble club); the way he played golf, taking risks and wearing his emotions on his sleeve; his involvement in a string of exciting finishes in early televised tournaments; and his affability.
[10]
[11]
Palmer is also credited by many for securing the status of
The Open Championship
(British Open) among U.S. players. Before
Ben Hogan
won that championship in 1953, few American professionals had traveled to play in The Open, due to its extensive travel requirements, relatively small purse, and the style of its
links
courses (radically different from most American courses). Palmer wanted to emulate the feats of his predecessors
Bobby Jones
,
Sam Snead
and Hogan in his quest to become a leading American golfer.
[12]
In particular, Palmer traveled to
Scotland
in 1960 to compete in the British Open for the first time. He had already won both the Masters and U.S. Open and was trying to emulate Hogan's 1953 feat of winning all three tournaments in a single year.
[10]
Palmer played what he himself said were the four best rounds of his career, shooting 70-71-70-68. His scores had the English excitedly claiming that Palmer may well be the greatest golfer ever to play the game.
[13]
British fans were excited about Palmer's playing in the Open. Although he failed to win, losing out to
Kel Nagle
by a single shot,
[10]
his subsequent Open wins in the early 1960s convinced many American pros that a trip to Britain would be worth the effort, and certainly secured Palmer's popularity among British and European fans, not just American ones.
[13]
Palmer was greatly disappointed by his runner-up finish in the 1960 British Open. His appearance overseas drew American attention to the Open Championship, which had previously been ignored by the American golfers.
[14]
Palmer went on to win the Open Championship in 1961 and 1962, and last played in it in 1995. Martin Slumbers, chief executive of
The R&A
, called Palmer "a true gentleman, one of the greatest ever to play the game and a truly iconic figure in sport".
[14]
His participation in The Open Championship in the early 1960s "was the catalyst to truly internationalize golf," said European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley.
[14]
Palmer won seven
major championships
:
Palmer's most prolific years were 1960?1963, when he won 29 PGA Tour events, including five major tournaments, in four seasons. In 1960, he won the
Hickok Belt
as the top professional athlete of the year and
Sports Illustrated
magazine's "
Sportsman of the Year
" award. He built up a wide fan base, often referred to as "Arnie's Army", and in 1967 he became the first man to reach $1
million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. By the late 1960s
Jack Nicklaus
and Gary Player had both acquired clear ascendancy in their rivalry, but Palmer won a PGA Tour event every year from 1955 to 1971 inclusive, and in 1971 he enjoyed a revival, winning four events.
[17]
[18]
[19]
For each of his wins at the Masters, Palmer's caddie was
Nathaniel "Iron Man" Avery
; at the time, Augusta National required all golfers to use the club's own caddies.
[20]
Palmer won the
Vardon Trophy
for lowest scoring average four times: 1961, 1962, 1964, and 1967. He played on six
Ryder Cup
teams: 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1971, and 1973.
[10]
He was the last playing captain in 1963, and captained the team again in 1975.
[21]
Palmer was eligible for the Senior PGA Tour (now
PGA Tour Champions
) from its first season in 1980, and he was one of the marquee names who helped it to become successful. He won ten events on the tour, including five
senior majors
.
[10]
Palmer won the first
World Match Play Championship
that was held in England. The event was originally organized by McCormack to showcase his stable of players. Their partnership was one of the most significant in the history of sports marketing. Long after he ceased to win tournaments, Palmer remained one of the highest earners in golf due to his appeal to sponsors and the public.
[22]
In 2004, he competed in the
Masters Tournament
for the last time, marking his 50th consecutive appearance in that event.
[23]
At his death, he and Jack Nicklaus were the only two Masters champions to be regular members of Masters organizer
Augusta National Golf Club
(as opposed to the honorary membership the club grants to all Masters champions).
[24]
From 2007 until his death, Palmer served as an honorary starter for the Masters.
[25]
He retired from tournament golf on October 13, 2006, when he withdrew from the Champions Tours'
Administaff Small Business Classic
after four holes due to dissatisfaction with his own play. He played the remaining holes but did not keep score.
[26]
Golf businesses
[
edit
]
Palmer had a diverse golf-related business career, including owning the
Bay Hill Club and Lodge
in
Orlando, Florida
, which is the venue for the PGA Tour's
Arnold Palmer Invitational
(renamed from the Bay Hill Invitational in
2007
), helping to found
The Golf Channel
,
[10]
[27]
and negotiating the deal to build the first golf course in the People's Republic of China. This led to the formation of Palmer Course Design in 1972, which was renamed Arnold Palmer Design Company when the company moved to Orlando, Florida, in 2006.
[10]
Palmer's design partner was Ed Seay.
Palmer designed more than 300 golf courses in 37 states, 25 countries, and five continents (all except Africa and Antarctica), including the first modern course built in China, in 1988.
[8]
[10]
In 1971, he purchased
Latrobe Country Club
(where his father used to be the club professional) and owned it until his death.
[10]
The licensing, endorsements, spokesman associations and commercial partnerships built by Palmer and McCormack are managed by Arnold Palmer Enterprises. Palmer was also a member of the
American Society of Golf Course Architects
.
In 1997, Palmer and fellow golfer
Tiger Woods
initiated a civil case in an effort to stop the unauthorized sale of their images and alleged signatures in the memorabilia market. The lawsuit was filed against Bruce Matthews, the owner of Gotta Have It Golf, Inc. and others. Matthews and associated parties counter-claimed that Palmer and associated businesses committed several acts, including breach of contract, breach of implied duty of good faith and violations of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
[28]
On March 12, 2014, a Florida jury ruled in favor of Gotta Have It on its breach of contract and other related claims. The same jury rejected the counterclaims of Palmer and Woods, and awarded Gotta Have It $668,346 in damages.
[29]
[30]
One of Palmer's most recent products (mass-produced starting in 2001) is a branded use of the beverage known as the
Arnold Palmer
, which combines sweetened iced tea with lemonade.
[10]
[31]
Automotive businesses
[
edit
]
As a member of the Lincoln-Mercury Sports Panel, in the early 1970s Palmer was a brand ambassador for
Lincoln-Mercury
.
[32]
In 1974, Palmer, along with partners Mark McCormack and
Don Massey
, purchased a
Cadillac
dealership in
Charlotte, North Carolina
. Over the years, Palmer would acquire several other dealerships in several states including a
Buick
-Cadillac store in his hometown of Latrobe.
[33]
The Latrobe dealership, known as Arnold Palmer Motors, closed in 2017 after 36 years in business.
[34]
Legacy
[
edit
]
As a measure of his popularity, Palmer, like
Elvis Presley
before him, was known simply as "The King." But in a life bursting from the seams with success, Palmer never lost his common touch. He was a man of the people, willing to sign every autograph, shake every hand, and tried to look every person in his gallery in the eye.
Golf Week
[8]
According to Adam Schupak of
Golf Week
, "No one did more to popularize the sport than Palmer". "His dashing presence singlehandedly took golf out of the country clubs and into the mainstream. Quite simply, he made golf cool."
[8]
Jack Nicklaus
said:
Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend. Arnold was someone who was a pioneer in his sport. He took the game from one level to a higher level, virtually by himself.
[35]
He is mentioned by James Bond's
caddie
in
Goldfinger
: "If that's [Goldfinger's] original ball, I'm Arnold Palmer."
[36]
In 2000, Palmer was ranked the sixth greatest player of all time in
Golf Digest
magazine's rankings, and by 2008 had earned an estimated $30 million.
[37]
[38]
Palmer was inducted into
Omicron Delta Kappa
- The National Leadership Honor Society in 1964 at
Wake Forest University
. He was awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom
in 2004 and the
Congressional Gold Medal
in 2009.
[39]
[40]
He was the first golfer to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the second golfer, after
Byron Nelson
, to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.
[41]
In addition to Palmer's impressive list of awards, he was bestowed the honor of kicking off the
Masters Tournament
beginning in
2007
. From 2007 to
2009
, Palmer was the sole honorary starter. In
2010
, longtime friend and competitor
Jack Nicklaus
was appointed by Augusta National to join Palmer.
[42]
In
2012
, golf's The Big Three reunited as South African golfer
Gary Player
joined for the ceremonial tee shots as honorary starters for the 76th playing of the Masters Tournament.
[43]
In describing the effect that Palmer had on the sport, biographer
James Dodson
stated:
We loved him with a mythic American joy
... He represented everything that is great about golf. The friendship, the fellowship, the laughter, the impossibility of golf, the sudden rapture moment that brings you back, a moment that you never forget, that's Arnold Palmer in spades. He's the defining figure in golf.
[8]
Personal life
[
edit
]
Palmer was married to the former Winnie Walzer for 45 years; the couple had two daughters.
[10]
Winnie died at age 65 on November 20, 1999, from complications due to ovarian cancer.
[44]
Palmer's grandson,
Sam Saunders
, is a professional golfer
[10]
who grew up playing at Bay Hill, where he won the club championship at age 15. Saunders attended
Clemson University
in
South Carolina
on a golf scholarship and turned pro in 2008. He stated that Palmer's family nickname is "Dumpy.”
[45]
Palmer married his second wife, Kathleen Gawthrop, in 2005 in
Hawaii
.
[46]
[47]
During the spring and summer months, Palmer resided in Latrobe, and he spent winters in Orlando and
La Quinta, California
.
[48]
He first visited Orlando in 1948 during a college match. When he took up residence in Orlando, Palmer helped the city become a recreation destination, "turning the entire state of Florida into a golfing paradise.”
[49]
That included building one of the premier events on the PGA Tour there, along with his contributions to new hospitals.
[49]
On hearing about Palmer's death,
Tiger Woods
said, "My kids were born at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, and his philanthropic work will be remembered along with his accomplishments in golf."
[35]
Arnold Palmer Boulevard is named in his honor.
[49]
Palmer was a member of the
Freemasons
since 1958.
[50]
Palmer created the Arnie's Army Charitable Foundation to help children and youth. The Foundation saw the creation of the
Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies Center
, The Howard Philips Center for Children & Families, the
Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children
, and the Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve.
[51]
He and O.J. Simpson were spokespersons for
Hertz Rent-a-Car
.
[52]
Palmer served on the advisory board of
U.S. English
, a group that supports making English the official language of the United States.
[53]
During his playing career, Palmer smoked cigarettes, which caused him to battle an addiction to nicotine. He noted that many of his colleagues smoked, and he even endorsed the product in television commercials. Later in life, Palmer made a complete about-face and urged the public to give up smoking. He said that cigarette smoking has a negative effect on every organ in the body.
[54]
As a testimonial for
smoking cessation
products, he was depicted in a 1989 photo by Robert Straus that was subject to
copyright
litigation as late as 20 years later.
[55]
Palmer was a
Republican
and donated money to
Pat Toomey
,
John McCain
,
Mitt Romney
,
Rick Santorum
, and
George W. Bush
. He was approached on multiple occasions by the Republican Party encouraging him to run for political office, but he declined on each occasion.
[56]
[57]
Pilot
[
edit
]
Palmer's early "fear of flying" led him to pursue his
pilot certificate
. After almost 55 years, he logged nearly 20,000 hours of flight time in various aircraft.
[58]
His personal website reads:
Next to marrying his wife, Winnie, and deciding on a professional career in golf, there's only one decision Arnold Palmer considers smarter. Learning how to fly an airplane.
[59]
On Palmer's 70th birthday in 1999, Westmoreland County Airport in Latrobe was renamed
Arnold Palmer Regional Airport
in his honor.
[10]
[60]
According to their website: "[The airport] started as the Longview Flying Field in 1924. It became J.D. Hill Airport in 1928, Latrobe Airport in 1935 and Westmoreland County Airport in 1978. Complementing a rich history rooted in some of the earliest pioneers of aviation, the name was changed to Arnold Palmer Regional in 1999 to honor the Latrobe native golf legend who grew up less than a mile from the runway where he watched the world's first official airmail pickup in 1939 and later learned to fly himself."
[61]
There is a statue of Palmer made by
Zenos Frudakis
, holding a golf club in front of the airport's entrance, unveiled in 2007.
[62]
Palmer thought he would pilot a plane for the last time on January 31, 2011,
[10]
and flew from
Palm Springs
in California to Orlando in his
Cessna Citation X
.
[63]
His pilot's
medical certificate
expired that day and he chose not to renew it. However, public FAA records show he was issued a new
third-class medical
in May 2011.

Death
[
edit
]
Palmer died on September 25, 2016 (shortly after his 87th birthday), while awaiting heart surgery at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
(Shadyside) in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
.
[10]
He was admitted three days earlier to undergo testing on his heart.
[64]
After his funeral, he was cremated and his ashes were scattered in his hometown at
Latrobe Country Club
.
[65]
His estate was valued at $875 million and was divided between his two daughters, his second wife (who received $10 million), eight employees who received $25,000 each, and his charity, Arnie's Army, which received $10 million.
[66]
Tributes
[
edit
]
From a humble start working at the local club in his beloved Latrobe, Pennsylvania, to superstardom as the face of golf around the globe, Arnold was the American Dream come to life... Today, Michelle and I stand with Arnie's Army in saluting the King.
President Barack Obama
[67]
Less than a week after Palmer died, his life was celebrated by both teams at the
Ryder Cup
at
Hazeltine National Golf Club
in
Chaska, Minnesota
, just outside the
Twin Cities
.
[68]
[69]
[70]
The celebration included a video tribute and a moment of silence during the opening ceremony, which also included tributes from the opposing captains?
Davis Love III
for Team USA and
Northern Ireland
's
Darren Clarke
for Team Europe?and the opposing honorary captains?Nicklaus for Team USA and
England
's
Tony Jacklin
for Team Europe. During the matches, the players paid tribute to Palmer, which included wearing a special logo, button and pin. Palmer's bag from the
1975 Ryder Cup
was also placed on the first tee as a tribute. Palmer had won more than 22 Ryder Cup matches and had also captained Team USA to two victories, in addition to holding or being tied for the records for youngest captain, most career singles points and most points in a single Ryder Cup.
[70]
PGA of America president Derek Sprague stated:
The game has never known a more enthusiastic sportsman than Arnold Palmer. So it is fitting that we pay tribute to Mr. Palmer during the 41st Ryder Cup, to celebrate it in a very special way, the life of an unforgettable champion and gracious ambassador of the game.
[69]
Two days after a 17?11 victory, which marked the first American Ryder Cup triumph since
2008
at
Valhalla
and which Love dedicated to Palmer, the majority of the team attended the memorial service for Palmer at
St. Vincent College
in Latrobe and also brought the trophy after Palmer's daughter Amy asked the team if they could do so.
[71]
A Golden Palm Star on the
Palm Springs Walk of Stars
was dedicated to Palmer on January 1, 2017.
[72]
The
United States Postal Service
issued a commemorative stamp honoring Palmer on March 4, 2020.

Rosenthal, District Judge.
"Robert D. Straus, Jr., Plaintiff, v. DVC Worldwine, Inc., d/b/a DVC, and Smithkline Beecham Corp., d/b/a Glaxosmithkline, Defendants"
. 484 F. Supp. 2d 620 Civil Action No. H-04-4625 March 23, 2007, United States District Court, S.D. Texas, Houston Division.
This case involves a 1989 photograph of the well-known golfer, Arnold Palmer. The plaintiff, Robert Straus, Jr., a professional photographer, took the picture and copyrighted it. He sues DVC Worldwide, Inc. ("DVC") and Glaxosmithkline ("GSK"), alleging that they infringed the copyright by using the photograph ? or images substantially similar to it ? in a smoking-cessation campaign in 2001 and 2002, beyond the license Straus had agreed to.
GSK sells smoking-cessation products, including NiCOREtte and NicodeRM. In 2001, GSK hired DVC as the promotional marketing agency for the 2002 campaign. In the fall of 2001, GSK entered into an agreement with Arnold Palmer for him to serve as the campaign spokesperson. Straus alleges that DVC and GSK improperly used the copyrighted 1989 photograph he took of Arnold Palmer.
