Arnold Palmer still had a parking spot outside his old office at Golf Channel, the network he co-founded more than two decades ago.
On Monday, hours after the golfing great died at age 87, the space was filled with flowers, candles and pictures as rain poured down on the makeshift memorial at the Orlando, Florida, headquarters.
As the network began its continuous, commercial-free coverage Sunday night, the loss was a personal one for employees at the first U.S. single-sport cable channel.
''All of them seemed to have some sort of Arnold Palmer story,'' Golf Channel President Mike McCarley said in a phone interview Monday.
