Arnold Palmer Biography

Arnold Palmer was born 7/10/1929 in Latrobe, PA. When he was eleven year, Palmer began working as a caddie (one who carries a golfer's clubs). While playing for the Latrobe High School golf team, he lost only single match in four years.Palmer became a professional golfer in November 1954.In 1960, just as golf was beginning to receive regular television coverage, Palmer's spectacular come-from-behind wins in the Masters and the U.S. Open made him a national hero. He won the British Open in 1961 and 1962 and the Masters in 1962 and 1964. Palmer became one of the nation's most famous people. Palmer has received virtually every national award in golf. He had sixty-one wins on the PGA tour, including seven major championships, and he is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, the American Golf Hall of Fame, and the PGA Hall of Fame. Palmer also used his fame to benefit charities, serving as Honorary National Chairman of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation for twenty years.
