Arnold Palmer (1929-2016) was an American professional golfer and one of the most beloved figures in the history of the sport. Known as "The King," Palmer won seven major championships, including four Masters Tournaments, and helped bring golf to a broad television audience during the 1950s and 1960s. His charismatic style, aggressive play, and devoted following known as "Arnie's Army" made him one of the defining sports personalities of his era.
