Palmer, the King of golf, dies at age 87

Whatever cosmic substance was woven into Arnold Palmer’s DNA, we may never see the likes of it again.

While Sam Snead, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan won more PGA Tour events, Palmer won more intangible treasures.

Really, how do you measure all the hearts Palmer lured to the game?

If somebody up in the cosmos is keeping a record of that, Palmer’s mark may never be broken.

Alastair Johnson, CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, confirmed to Golf Channel that Palmer died Sunday afternoon due to complications of heart problems.
