"We are excited to be partnering with Arnold Palmer, one of the most successful names in the game of golf. Arnold Palmer's popularity is legendary and his name provides unquestioned authenticity to our products," said Rod McGeachy, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tandy Brands. "This new license agreement is a significant win for Tandy Brands, helping further strengthen our current golf category business as well as opening up additional channels of distribution."

As part of this multi-year agreement, Moore will exclusively wear Arnie during all competitions, display the logo on his shirts, make appearances on behalf of the company and be featured in its marketing initiatives.

"Mr. Palmer is among my all-time idols as a golfer and a person, so competing in these clothes and being so closely associated with his style legacy is a dream come true," says Moore. "The research that went into each piece is really evident and when you combine those timeless elements with advanced technical fabrics you've got something great."

No golfer was more associated with Bob Hope or the tournament that featured Hope's name than Arnold Palmer. Not only did Palmer win the Bob Hope Classic five times between 1960 and 1973, but the 1973 event was Palmer's last of 62 victories on the PGA Tour.

Palmer was also a friend of Hope, appearing on Hope's television specials and even making a cameo appearance in one of Hope's movies, Call Me Bwana.

So Palmer is both nostalgic and realistic about the changes that have come to Hope's old tournament.

Palmer, 82, was playing a friendly round with Dick Ferris, Bill Damron, Bruce Walters and Will Carey.

The Callaway staff pro icon teed up on the 163-yard hole with a brand new Callaway Razr XF 5-iron, the first time he used that set of clubs.

"Wow, that felt good!" said Palmer.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Even two years later, the renovation of the Bay Hill Club & Lodge continues to be praised and cherished.

Critics have blasted changes at some other high-profile tournament courses -- notably Dubsdread at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club near Chicago and the West Course at the Wentworth Club in England -- but not Bay Hill.

Members, guests, managers and, most important, the PGA Tour pros who tee it up every March in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, have embraced Palmer's thoughtful work to the bunkers and green complexes. The new grass on the greens, Emerald Bermuda, has been deemed "the right fit" by all. The renovation, which was completed Sept. 10, 2009, gives the King another reason to celebrate his birthday each year.

As far as some are concerned, Wake Forest can never do enough to honor Arnold Palmer, the legendary golfer who always has a kind word for his school and who always is willing to help it raise money.

Palmer, who turned 82 this month, will be honored again next month when the Wake Forest practice facility takes his name. Palmer designed the state-of-art complex as a gift to the school, and it opened early last year to rave reviews.

Parts of the facility are still named for coaches Jesse Haddock and Dianne Dailey, but the entire complex will be named for Palmer.

LAS VEGAS – As Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off this week in New York City, it’s perfect timing to pay homage to one of the golf world’s greatest style icons.

Arnold Palmer is certainly one of the coolest and winningest athletes of all time, capturing seven major championships and 92 professional titles, but he also knows how to dress, and has accolades to back that up. In 2010 Palmer was profiled in Esquire’s “The 75 Best Dressed Men of All Time” and is often referenced for the model golf course dress.

Thanks to a team of designers and visionaries, Arnold’s classic, clean and cool style has been recreated and consolidated into a new line, aptly named Arnie, directly inspired by the looks worn by Palmer during the peak decades of his playing career.

The event is a 36-hole golf tournament, plus pro-am and clinics hosted by Portland native Peter Jacobsen.

Palmer attended every Fred Meyer Challenge, helping the event raise nearly $13 million for charity.

“For him to come now for the 18th straight time … it’s a world record for me,” says Jacobsen.

"I've always enjoyed it," said Palmer. "The people were always very nice, and the tournament and the golf course were great."

The event is being hosted at the Portland Golf Club where Palmer has a deep history, starting with an appearance in the Western Open during his first year on tour, in 1955, along with annual appearances in the Portland Open and in the 1982 U.S. Senior Open.
