Arnold Palmer

Arnold Daniel Palmer (born September 10, 1929 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania) is an American golfer who has won numerous events on both the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955. Palmer is not generally regarded as the greatest player in history (most would give that accolade to Jack Nicklaus, some to Bobby Jones, and Tiger Woods has challenged them in recent years), but he is arguably the most important in that he was the first golf star when television started to air golf tournaments in the 1950s.
