My Dad's favorite player, so of course on the top of my list too.

Very Sad Day.

R.I.P. Mr. Palmer

This makes me very sad. He was an icon of my youth in the 80's. Mainly because my Dad forced us to watch golf lol. RIP Mr. Palmer.

I would rather watch paint drying on TV than watch golf ..... but Arnie was always a great ambassador for the PGA.

RIP Arnie. My condolences to his family and friends.

very sad. rip arnie

Got to see him play once as an old timer. RIP Mr. Palmer.

Truely a great in any sport. A great sportsman, a great man. You can count me as a member of his Army.

R.I.P Arnie

There aren't enough superlatives to adequately describe Arnold Palmer. So I'll just leave it with, what a class act.

R.I.P.

An all-time great, obviously.
Sad news, but he lived a heck of a life, 87 years of it.
RIP, Mr. Palmer.

Don't know how to post Nicklaus' letter, but it was class too

There are certain athletes that are bigger than their sport.

Ali, Jordan, Gretsky, Babe Ruth, and Arnie.

Arnie was such a beloved figure. Arnie's Army was huge back in the day. He had such a loyal fan base because of his great character and inspirational play.

We lost a great man yesterday. He's gone, but his memories will live on.

As the Twentieth Century continues to pull away.

RIP Arnie

well put

Phew, I thought I was dead.
JK

RIP to Arnie though

Here it is, Jacks rememberance....



I just got the news at about 8:45 that Arnold had passed. I was shocked to hear that we lost a great friend—and that golf lost a great friend.

At this point I don’t know what happened, and I suppose it is not important what happened. What is important is that we just lost one of the incredible people in the game of golf and in all of sports. My friend—many people’s friend—just wore out. I know he was in Pittsburgh trying to find out how to make himself better. That’s what Arnold has always tried to do. He has always been a fighter and he never gave up on anything. He didn’t give up even now. Maybe his body did, but I know Arnold’s will and spirit did not.

I wish I had another chance to talk to him, but I am so glad we talked a couple weeks ago on his birthday (Sept. 10), when he sounded great. So Barbara and I are just in shock and incredibly saddened. Our hearts, thoughts, prayers and sympathies go out to Kit, his kids, grand-kids, great grandchildren, and his entire loving family.

He was one of my best friends, closest friends, and he was for a long, long time. I will miss him greatly.

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. Along the way, he had millions of adoring fans—Barbara and I among them. We were great competitors, who loved competing against each other, but we were always great friends along the way. Arnold always had my back, and I had his. We were always there for each other. That never changed.

He was the king of our sport and always will be.

A day later I am even more saddened. Arnie was a hero of my youth. His passing is only a reminder my youth is a bit behind me, but more important, it reminds me the world needs more people like Arnold Palmer.

He was a true Gentleman.

thanks peen. sad stuff

A rainbow appears over the course shortly after they spread Arnies ashes.



Gee, just like Arnie's umbrella.

For those who don't believe in God.....just saying you might want to reconsider.

awesome shot

Sure is.
