Arnold Palmer, who built a golf legacy as the King by connecting with the common man, died Sunday in Pittsburgh, near his longtime home in Latrobe, Pa. He was 87.
Palmer died of complications from heart problems, it was confirmed by Alastair Johnston, CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises.
Palmer was fifth on the all-time PGA Tour wins list with 62 and tied for seventh on the list of major-championship winners with seven. He was the PGA Tour's leading money winner four times between 1958 and '63, and Player of the Year in 1960 and '62.
