(2/2) It’s hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King.

Where would golf be without Arnold Palmer? Very difficult to comprehend.

The word "iconic" is overused.
Arnold Palmer died today.
Use the word. Use it a lot.

R.I.P. Arnold Palmer. No sport has a greater ambassador and no athlete has been cooler, classier or as popular for as long.

Arnold Palmer transcended golf and sport. His celebrity was ubiquitous not for any scandal, but because of his skill, class and cool.
