Here’s some news regarding Arnie and the upcoming Masters Tournament:

Four-times champion Arnold Palmer, who played at the Masters tournament for 50 successive years, said Wednesday he would attend but not play this year’s event that begins on April 7.

“I have no intentions of going on the golf course,” said Palmer, during a news conference at the Bay Hill Invitational in Orlando, Florida. “I’m just going to socialize.

“I may change that in the years to come but at the moment, I just feel like I want to get a feel for not playing in Augusta.

“For 50 straight years I played and I loved it. I enjoyed it tremendously and I would still enjoy it, but I just want to get the feel for not doing anything.”

Arnold Palmer will be playing in September at the Weston Golf and Country Club to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his first PGA victory at the 1955 Canadian Open held that year at Weston.
