ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Arnold Palmer will be on the first tee to help start the Masters this year - but without his golf clubs.
Palmer said Tuesday he has told Augusta National he will not be hitting the ceremonial tee shot to start the Masters this year. Palmer, a four-time Masters champion, has had that role since 2007. Jack Nicklaus joined him in 2010 and Gary Player was added in 2012.
