Arnold Palmer

Arnold Palmer was one of the most successful and popular golfers in the history of sports. He helped expand golf recruitment in the early 1950s, and helped establish the Champions Tour in the early 1980s. Palmer won 62 times in the PGA Tour Championships and over the course of 50 years, he also won 10 times in the Champions Channel. See Palmer's professional services list for all those tournament titles. Palmer won one major amateur ahead of his PGA Tour career, the 1954 U.S.A. Amateur. As a professional golfer, Palmer won seven medals: Masters in 1958, 1960, 1962 and 1964; U.S. Open in 1960; and the British Open in 1961 and 1962. He has won Palmer’s winners (and his closest ones) by gaining full impetus for his heroic success.
