Arnold Palmer the king dies at 87

So sad to see. One of my idols as a kid along with jack. Met him in 1988 I believe at a tournament, i was a caddie, and have a signed print in my office to this day.

I knew of him as the drink first then the golfer.

I guess I'm going to 7-11 for an Arnold Palmer now.

Very generous man. He and his wife financed several hospitals in FL.

Two big names in sports lost today. One up and coming and one legend. Sad day.

One of those rare human beings that transcends their sport... While other golfers may have had superior skills or even won more tournaments, Arnold Palmer will always be remembered for being one of the classiest people you'd want to meet both on and off camera. A true American icon.
He will be missed.

Gosh, do you know what's the irony? I found out about his death last week... Only a day after teaching a few people at a dinner event how to make an Arnold Palmer drink since apparently they've never seen anybody mix iced tea with lemonade.

May he rest in peace though.

I always thought Elvis was The King. Never knew he had comps from Arnold.

If older than 20 or aware of golf, should know who Arnie is, with out a doubt.

Very nice tribute to him in Europe.
