Arnold Palmer: Tour Pros remember . . . “I first met Arnold Palmer in..”
Alastair Johnston, CEO, Arnold Palmer Enterprises :
"Well, I met Arnold before he remembers meeting me. I grew up in Scotland, and I remember going to watch him in the Open Championships, and I saw this sun tanned, really cool dude and I thought, I want to come to America."
And come to American the young Scot did, working his way into and then to the top of sports management – as Rangers Football Club chairman, then International Management Group vice-chairman and board of directors member, now Arnold Palmer Enterprises CEO.
Johnson’s daunting task has been and will continue to be to transform the charismatic and visionary Palmer’s ideas into workable business enterprises.
