Career outline

Palmer was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Latrobe (leɪˈtʃroʊb is a City in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States approximately 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh He learned golf from his father Deacon Palmer, who was head professional and greens keeper at Latrobe Country Club, allowing young Arnold to accompany his father as he maintained the course. [1] At age seven, Palmer broke 70 at Bent Creek Country Club. As a youngster, Palmer was only allowed on the Latrobe course (it was just nine holes then) in early morning or late afternoon, when the members weren't playing. He attended Wake Forest University, on a golf scholarship. Wake Forest University is a private, coeducational University in North Carolina, founded in 1834 He left upon the tragic death of close friend Bud Worsham, and enlisted in the Coast Guard, where he served for three years and had some time to continue to hone his golf skills. A coast guard is a national organization responsible for various services at sea Palmer gathered himself, and returned to competitive golf. His win in the 1954 U. S. Amateur Championship made him decide to try the pro tour for a while, and he and new bride Winifred Walzer (whom he had met at a Pennsylvania tournament) traveled the circuit for 1955. Palmer won the 1955 Canadian Open in his rookie season, and raised his game systematically for the next several seasons. The Canadian Open (currently sponsored as the RBC Canadian Open) is a Golf tournament which was founded in 1904 With the help of his unfailing personality and lucrative business ventures, Arnold Palmer has almost single-handedly brought golf out of the elite country clubs and into the consciousness of mainstream America.

Palmer's charisma was a major factor in establishing golf as a compelling television event in the 1950s and 1960s, setting the stage for the popularity it enjoys today. The 1950s Decade refers to the years of 1950 to 1959 inclusive The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969 His first major championship win at the 1958 Masters cemented his position as one of the leading stars in golf, and by 1960 he had signed up as pioneering sports agent Mark McCormack's first client. The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters or The US Masters (outside of the United States is one of four major championships in men's Mark Hume McCormack (November 6 1930 &ndash May 16 2003 was an American sports and celebrity marketing entrepreneur In later interviews, McCormack listed five attributes that made Palmer especially marketable: his good looks; his relatively modest background (his father was a greenkeeper before rising to be club professional and Latrobe was a humble club); the way he played golf, taking risks and wearing his emotions on his sleeve; his involvement in a string of exciting finishes in early televised tournaments; and his affability. [2]

Palmer is also credited by many for securing the status of The Open Championship (British Open) among US players. The Open Championship, or simply The Open (often referred to as the British Open outside the UK) is the oldest of the four major championships The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Before Palmer, relatively few American professionals attempted to play The Open due to its travel requirements, small prize purses, foreign environment, and the style of its links courses (radically different from most American courses). A links Golf course sometimes referred to as a seaside links, is the oldest style of Golf course, first developed in Scotland. Palmer's successive Open wins in the early 1960s convinced many American pros that a trip to Britain would be worth the effort. Of course, the advent of transatlantic air travel by jet at about that time also contributed greatly to making The Open a more attractive tournament for American pros.

He has won seven major championships:

Palmer's most prolific years were 1960-1963, when he won 29 PGA Tour events in four seasons. The men's major golf championships, often referred to simply as "the majors" are the four most prestigious annual tournaments in professional Golf.

Palmer was eligible for the Senior PGA Tour (now the Champions Tour) from its first season in 1980, and he was one of the marquee names who helped it to become successful. The Champions Tour, a Golf tour run by the PGA Tour, hosts a series of events annually He won ten events on the tour, including five senior majors. Men's professional senior Golf is for players aged 50 and above

Events 54 - Nero ascends to the Roman throne 409 - Vandals and Alans crossed the Pyrenees The Administaff Small Business Classic is a Golf tournament on the Champions Tour. He played the remaining holes but did not keep score. [3]Palmer's legacy was reaffirmed by an electrifying moment during the 2004 Bay Hill Invitational. Standing over 200 yards from the water-laden 18th green, Palmer, who is known for his aggressive play, lashed his second shot onto the green with a driver. The shot thrilled his loyal gallery and energized the excitable Palmer. He turned to his grandson and caddie, Sam Saunders, and gave him a prolonged shimmy and playful jeering in celebration of the moment.

Palmer has had a diverse golf related business career including owning "Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club and Lodge", which is the venue for the PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational (renamed from the Bay Hill Invitational effective 2007), helping to found The Golf Channel[4], and negotiating the deal to build the first golf course in the People's Republic of China.
