 Arnold Palmer
1961 British Open

Arnold Palmer grew up in Latrobe, Pa. The son of a professional golfer, he won three regional titles in his youth. Turning professional after winning the 1954 U.S. amateur championship, he won the 1955 Canadian Open. Palmer won the Masters tournament in 1958, 1960, 1962, and 1964, becoming the first four-time winner; the U.S. Open in 1960; and the British Open in 1961 and 1962. A great fan favorite, followed enthusiastically by “Arnie's Army,” he had a noted long-term rivalry with Jack Nicklaus. In 1967 he became the first golf professional to have won over $1 million. Palmer's charisma was a major factor in establishing golf as a compelling television event in the 1950s and 1960s, setting the stage for the popularity it enjoys today.  He is also credited by many for securing the status of The Open Championship (British Open) among US players. Before Palmer, relatively few American professionals attempted to play The Open due to its travel requirements, foreign environment, and the style of its courses.   Palmer's successive Open wins in the early 1960s convinced many American pros that a trip to Britain would be worth the effort.
