Arnold Palmer was born on September 10, 1929, in Latrobe, a small industrial town in Western Pennsylvania. This is the home where he chose to raise his family, though he could have started a new life as a professional golfer anywhere else. The course, clubhouse and community at Latrobe Country Club shaped his love for people and golf, formed his character and personality, and built a life and legacy that sincerely inspired an Army of admirers.
To secure the future of this American legacy, the Palmer Family recently donated Latrobe Country Club to the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation. We are mustering Arnie’s Army once again to preserve the role Latrobe has played in inspiring dreams, building character and leading the game of golf forward. We owe it to this legacy to share Latrobe with the world.
Arnold Palmer lived an American life of global significance, rewarded by his love for golf and love for people.
His combination of character and personality made him a friend to Presidents and built an Army of admirers.
Continually sharing these stories at Latrobe, Bay Hill, and wherever he mattered will carry the Legacy forward for new generations.
