American Golf Player
American Golfer Arnold Palmer
American golfer Arnold Daniel Palmer nicknamed “The King,” was born on September 10, 1929 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s professional golf. He has won numerous events on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955. Palmer is one of golf’s most popular stars and its most important trailblazer because he was the first star of the sport’s television age, which began in the 1950s. He was part of golf’s “Big Three” – along with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player who are widely credited with popularizing the sport around the world. Palmer won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, and in 1974 was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
