Golf World Pays Tribute to ‘The King’ Arnold Palmer on His 92nd Birthday

Helping to revolutionize the game of golf back in the 1960s, Arnold Palmer’s contribution and dedication to the sport is unforgettable. Starting his professional career a few months after his U.S. Amateur Championship in 1954, Palmer undeniably ruled the 60s. On September 10, 2021, Arnold Palmer would have celebrated his 92nd birthday.

The legend passed away in 2016, awaiting heart surgery in a hospital in Pennsylvania. Palmer’s birth anniversary always brings along countless wishes and tributes, everyone remembering the charming seven-time major winner. His Arnie’s Army and everyone from the media to Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player wished Palmer, who is still loved by millions around the world.

Player and Nicklaus wished their closest friend on social media, the third part of their big three – on and off the course. Of course, they miss their brother a little more today, also sharing beautiful images of them together. The three legends have helped golf grow and flourish into what it is today, the task more difficult without all three of them playing at the same time. They helped bring in television views, the crowd eager to support their favorites.

Let’s take a look at all the wishes Palmer received, wishing him on his 92nd birthday.

Oddly, there does not seem to be a good (or any) book specifically about the cultural impact of Arnold Palmer. Natural project for someone (but NOT golf writers – their focus would be too narrow). pic.twitter.com/7eKLqiokss
