Rickie Fowler is one of several golfers paying tribute to Arnold Palmer this week with apparel changes to honour the great American golfer.
Fowler will wear special-edition Puma hi-top shoes in Wednesday’s practice round at Bay Hill ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Another pair is set to be auctioned off for charity, with the proceeds going to Arnie’s Army Charitable Foundation.
Behind the tongue of the right shoe includes a quote from Fowler in remembrance of The King. It reads: ‘Legends never die. You will live on forever Arnie. I will never forget the bear hug in front of the clubhouse at Augusta, watching you hit your final tee shot there, and to spending time with you in the locker room at Bay Hill. Thank you for being you and giving me the opportunity to do what I get to do everyday! I love you as did everyone! RIP The King.’
