It would be fairly likely a passing would happen before one of the big tournaments. Maybe they will play it with a respectful attitude now in his memory, that would be fitting and he would have appreciated that.

Great sportsman.

Great sportsman.

I was thinking more in the context that he tops the list for winning the most matches for the US.

Gentleman, legend, icon & role model. RIP Arnie.

he always appeared relaxed and comfortable in his own skin despite his standing in world sport probably the perfect attributes for golf. Very rare to have a Sportsman who was in his prime 50 years ago be so well known today. A true Gentleman RIP.

His philanthropy - particularly in the city I live in, is quite astonishing.
