Here is PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem’s statement on
Arnold Palmer receiving the Congressional Gold Medal on
Wednesday:
Palmer
"Arnold Palmer is a legend both on and off the golf course
and we are deeply appreciative that Congress has recognized his
achievements and his character in giving this prestigious award.
His impact on players, tournaments, fans, sponsors, sports
television, volunteers and perhaps most importantly on communities
where he worked, lived and competed cannot be measured but is
deeply felt and will continue have a tremendous impact for
generations."
