    Arnold Palmer, 87. No golfer up until today ever was as loved by the galleries of the sport more than Arnie.

    Arnie was one of those guys you figured would be around forever...

    Sad to see that was wrong.

    :(

    He's left massive footsteps that even the Tiger Woods type players fail to fill.

    Arnie was a great golfer and a wonderful human being. He loved the game and life in general. He will be missed.

    He won his first PGA tour check in 1955 here in Indiana, in Fort Wayne at the former Elks Country Club course.

    A special guy. I am not even a golfer but followed him a lot.

    Then he did a lot in the Central Florida with a hospital in town named after him.
