Biography[edit]
Arnold Palmer was one of the most iconic and beloved figures in the history of golf. Born on September 10, 1929, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Palmer grew up with a passion for the game. His father, Deacon Palmer, was the greenskeeper at the Latrobe Country Club, where Arnold learned to play as a young boy.
Palmer's career in golf took off in the late 1950s and early 1960s when he achieved remarkable success on the PGA Tour. He won his first major championship, the Masters Tournament, in 1958, marking the beginning of a legendary career. Palmer's charismatic personality and attacking style of play made him hugely popular with fans, earning him the nickname "The King."
Throughout the 1960s, Palmer dominated professional golf, winning a total of seven major championships, including four Masters titles (1958, 1960, 1962, 1964), two Open Championships (British Open) (1961, 1962), and one U.S. Open (1960). His aggressive and fearless approach to the game, along with his swashbuckling style and thrilling comebacks, endeared him to millions of fans around the world.
Beyond his success on the golf course, Palmer became one of the first athletes to build a lucrative career through endorsements and business ventures.

Off the course, Palmer was known for his philanthropy and generosity. He established the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Florida, and was involved in numerous charitable endeavors throughout his life.
Arnold Palmer's impact on the game of golf extends far beyond his playing career.
