Palmer to be honored with postal stamp in 2020

The United States Postal Service announced Tuesday that it will honor Arnold Palmer with a commemorative stamp in 2020.

A seven-time major champ and icon of the game, Palmer died in 2016 at age 87. The stamp will honor Palmer for his positive impact on the game, noting his rise "from humble beginnings to becoming a globally-revered champion."

The stamp, whose first date of issue has yet to be announced, will feature a photo of Palmer taken by photographer James Drake at the 1964 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club. It will be issued as a "forever" stamp, meaning its value will always equal the cost of a first-class mail stamp.
