Arnold Palmer will always be golf’s King of Cool. He had a casual elegance that separated him from anyone before him, and golfers of later generations will always look to Arnie for inspiration. Palmer pushed the boundaries with style, fit and color. From mock collars to flat brim hats, Arnie wasn’t afraid be bold.
That style impact will be highlighted more than ever at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where the pros commonly wear pieces to honor Palmer’s legacy. Here are some of our favorite products you can buy with some Arnie-inspiration.
