ARNOLD PALMER

One of the most significant players in the golfing industry, Arnold Palmer, succumbed to complications from heart problems and old age at 87 years old. The golf enthusiast had a long, successful career in the industry, where he received credit for winning seven major championships and 62 PGA Tour titles. He also authored twelve books about his life and golf. He was surrounded by his daughters Amy and Peggy in his final moments.

Palmer had undergone several significant surgeries in the past. He already underwent one to have a pacemaker implanted next to his heart, which was one of the first of a series of health issues that continued to plague him. He wrote in his will that he wanted to join both his parents and wife Winnie. The late golf player had his ashes spread at the Latrobe Country Club.
