The world is paying tribute to a man who was well-known on and off the golf course, Arnold Palmer.
The legendary golfer died Sunday in a Pittsburgh hospital at the age of 87.
He was one of the most well-known athletes of the 20th century, but his work off the course made a much bigger impact.
Palmer co-designed the King and Bear Golf Course in St. Augustine with fellow golfer Jack Nicklaus.
Palmer’s charity, Arnie’s Army, continues to help children and families all across the country.
