Golfers pay tribute to late Arnold Palmer
Arnold Palmer was one of the most iconic figures in the golf world.
From being a Hall of Fame golfer and seven-time major winner to owning golf clubs and running events, Palmer was a legend and true ambassador of the game.
It was no surprise to see so many great figures in the golf game pay tribute to Palmer upon learning that the King died on Sunday at age 87. Here’s a look at some of the tweets:
Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs. Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend.

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