Adam Scott:

"He gave me an invite to play here when I was 20 years old, I believe.  And I walked off the first green and he was sitting in the cart behind the green greeting some of the players.  And he came over to me and he said, Adam, it’s great to have you here.  And I couldn’t even believe he knew who I was."

Adam Scott, world ranked No. 8, confirms our sense that Arnold Palmer knew who everybody was, whether or not he’d met them, whether they were a 5-time Major champion or a 20-year old rookie.

Arnold Palmer graced every life he touched, and his reach was broad and inclusive. For him, neither life nor the game of golf was constrained by old boundaries. His is a legacy worth embracing and preserving.
