It is awesome to see how the PGA tour and players are paying homage to “Legendary” Arnold Palmer. As we get closer to the Bay Hill Invitational, you can feel how much he is really missed. There will never be another like the “King”! Your thoughts…..
Rickie Fowler is nothing if not a sportsman. He loves golf history and equally loves rocking unique apparel. There needs to be more Rickie Fowlers in the sport. So it was no surprise this week when he revealed the golf shoes he will wear at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to honor the man for whom the tournament is named.
The high-top Puma kicks feature a litany of Palmer photos as well as his logo and signature. They are colorful, tasteful and perfect.
Fowler actually chose to not play this tournament last year. He drove to Bay Hill to tell Palmer personally and called it “one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.”
This year, he made it a point to attend even during the crazy busy Masters lead-up schedule that includes two WGCs, the Honda Classic (which Fowler won) and prep work for Augusta at the Houston Open and/or the Valspar Championship.
The tournament at Bay Hill this week will be a celebration in many ways. Golfers all over the field are honoring Palmer with umbrella-themed gear , but Fowler’s tribute will definitely stand out.
