The legends iconic US golfer Arnold Palmer battled and the players he inspired paid tribute to a beloved figure who spawned the modern big-money era with his charm and skill.
Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, stars of a newer generation who admired 'The King', and Palmer's 'Big Three' rivals of the 1960s, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, were among those who mourned Palmer's death on Sunday at age 87.
But so was US President Barack Obama, who tweeted a photo of a lesson Palmer gave him in the Oval Office of the White House.
"Here's to The King who was as extraordinary on the links as he was generous to others. Thanks for the memories, Arnold," Obama tweeted.

Remembering the special times I spent with Mr Palmer at Bay Hill. A true pioneer for our sport. Forever remembered. pic.twitter.com/qJQBpDWTWvPalmer became the first major US sports celebrity endorsement star, the role made for him in the 1960s. He remained a popular pitchman into his 80s, his "Arnie's Army," fan following unmatched until Woods spawned Tiger-mania in 1997.

Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs. Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend.

(2/2) It's hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King.A shocked and saddened Nicklaus, who won a record 18 major titles, mourned one of his dearest friends.
