Happy 86th birthday, Arnold Palmer

Arnold Palmer turns 86 on Thursday. And he'll be taking it easy, according to a representative. Mr. Palmer will be doing what he enjoys, responding to fan mail from his office and hanging out with his wife, Kit.

Mr. Palmer's Latrobe Classic will take place this Monday, as golfers will take a charter flight from Orlando, Fla., to Latrobe, Pa., to meet the man and play his Latrobe Country Club. Proceeds benefit the Alexander Center for Neonatology at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies in Orlando, and Golf Channel will be covering the event.
