The man known in golf circles as "The King" eager as ever for next edition of the tournament that bears his name

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.
