Charismatic, fearless risk-taker who attacked every pin instead of playing safe; built golf's first mass fanbase, 'Arnie's Army,' and defined the sport's 1960s TV boom.
"Palmer's the guy I bring up when a member wants to lay up on a par-5 — I just ask if they'd rather be remembered for the safe shot or the one that built an army of fans."
Play with heart — boldness and charisma on the course matter, and a technically imperfect swing can still win if the nerve behind it is real.
