Larry Guest, longtime sports writer for the Orlando Sentinel, in his farewell article, wrote "Arnold Palmer, he's not the guy you think he is".

You can tell he loved his dad.RIP

My brother got to talk with him for several minutes and said he was just what you’d imagined he’d be like. Oh how I would loved to have met him. What a mans man and great ambassador for the game.

A true legend on and off the golf course. Probably the most loved golfer of all time, with the best of all nicknames “The King” RIP Mr Palmer.

You are the greatest, Mr. Palmer

I was fortunate to meet him several times and talk to him in High School because I went to Latrobe and played on the golf team. He would always shake my hand and ask how I was doing and he really was interested and gave me his time along with anyone else who was interested. It's remarkable how good he is with people and that is what brought so much of his wealth outside of golf.

Him and Tiger, will always be MY GOATS.

MET MR PALMER MANY TIMES IN THE LOCKER ROOM AT FIRESTONE IN AKRON. HE NEVER FORGOT ME, ALWAYS SAID HIGH WOULD TALK WITH US JUST LIKE HE WAS IN OUR GROUP...THEIR WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ARNOLD PALMER. EVER..

Who could give a thumbs down? People are merciless these days.

I love Arnie...a real man

Rest well Mr Palmer...You earned it.

Dude literally lived and died a legend till the very end such a wonderful person who had a life that was truly well lived now we get to see that through his grandson who himself is a pga tour golfer

Thanks MR. PALMER for everything you showed us not by example but simply by being who you always were and i will miss your personna of what is a gentleman in the game of golf on and off the courses of life !!!!!!

There's no finer man in all of sports than Mr. Palmer. He's a hero of mine for all the good he's done while all the time living an example for all of us to be like. I hope he lives to 110 at least.

I saw Arnie at the 1967 Western Open in Chicago. He looked in the eyes of a 16 year old in love with golf and acknowledged my presence. His wrists were the size of my biceps, incredibly powerful. My father got the autograph of Jack Knicklaus who was signing alongside Arnie. When I asked him why he didn't get Arnies too he replied that we didn't have 3 hours to kill.

I don't cry much over anything but Arnold Palmer brought tears to my eyes when I heard he passed, I have been a college golfer, golf pro and a Army Ranger and I never felt anything in my heart like I did hearing he had died, Love you Arnie, RIP KING!

He "sleeps" awaiting "the first resurrection."

I was fortunate to spend a day with him; walked down the fairway with him; sat with him when he changed socks between outings. A true gentleman. RIP.

RIP

Rip mr palmer can't wait to play a round with you when I get to the other side

Arnold Palmer was not the greatest golfer of all time. But he was and still is the most important golfer of all time and then someways one of the most important people in professional sports. Arnold Palmer made golf a sport for the masses. Before it was a sport strictly for the upper class. The way he attacked the golf ball Combined with his natural charisma made him the most popular golfer of all time and still Very well-known and popular decades after he quit playing golf competitively. I know of no other athlete who has a drink named after him. He also was one of the first professional athletes to use an agent. Not only did he do that but he made a business out of it by starting an agency in partnership with his agent for other professional athletes. Which obviously has had a major impact on all professional sports. And he always had time for his fans. He never pretended to be more than he was. He didn’t have to.

Arnie is the Gordie Howe of golf .

I saw Arnold Palmer in person at the Greenbrier Classic Golf Tournament in July 2010. He was surrounded by autograph seekers. This was in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

"We'd hunt." PERIOD!

When I married into a golfing family I went to a sports store with an indoor driving range. After trying many brands the one where I connected the best was an Arnold Palmer signature set. Once on the course, that's where I got my one and only eagle in life: 80 yards out. A few birdies too! :^)

All I can say is Mr. Palmer it was an honor to know you even though I never met you...my respect and you are what I consider the embodiment of the American dream...a humble start and through hard work and perseverance became a legend and a great person worthy of all you built..God Bless and Rest In Peace..

Arnold is great. That generation and his parents generation. They lived through a Great Depression and a World War. Man those people we salt of the earth. Incredible character. Beyond incredible toughness. Look at all the whiny poosies we're surrounded by now. People today make me sick.

Arnie was a philanderer and was disloyal to his wife.

The guy conducting this interview couldn`t carry Arnie`s shoes. Imagine what a joke Arnie thinks he is as he looks at him.Palmer won a lot , but his true character shone through in his disappointments. May all of us do as well in adversity.

What you said is genuinely the antithesis of Arnold Palmer. That’s what made him so great that he never looked at another human being the way you are saying he does.

@@ronoccc Bensinger's an idiot. Did you check out his interview with John Daly when Bensinger asked "Why?" in response to Daly's answer when John said he misses his late mother and wishes she were still here? All the while asking questions and conducting the interview with a stupid, silly, idiotic grin on his face when Daly was baring his soul and being brutally honest about troubling events in his life.

Arnie's "girlfriend" on the senior tour became his second wife. The man could not be loyal to his own wife.

I like graham as a interviewer but here…. Very stiff, there’s no way he can relate to Mr Palmer in the way he lived…. Not well matched…. I think instead of just asking another question, allow for response and acknowledge what Arnold is saying….. it’s respectful.
