What a Legend! That title even seems weak. He meant so much to the game, and was just an awesome human being. Rest in Peace Arnie!!!!

RIP to the King

Sadly, his death is barely even causing a blip, and its on the eve of a Ryder Cup

At one point he was the highest paid athlete by endorsements, and it was after his career was over...
