(FOX SPORTS) – Golf icon Arnold Palmer, a seven-time major champion who was one of the most influential and beloved players in the game, has passed away at the age of 87 according to the USGA.
In April, Palmer’s health kept him from hitting a ceremonial tee shot at The Masters for the first time since 2007.
He was not able to attend the U.S. Open at Oakmont near his home in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and was struggling with mobility problems.
Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs. Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend.
