Palmer Garners Another Prestigious Honor
Another honor recently came the way of Arnold Palmer. He was selected as one of the 100 most influential student-athletes to have participated in NCAA events during their days in college. Palmer shares this distinction with the likes of five Presidents of the United States -- Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush and Richard Nixon. Others at the top of the list included Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Jesse Owens and John Wooden. Fellow golfers named were Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Patty Berg and Annika Sorenstam.
This list was compiled and made a part of the NCAA's 2006 Centennial Celebration.
