Arnold Palmer was golf’s King of Cool. He had a casual elegance apart from anyone else in his time. Apparel-wise, Palmer pushed the boundaries with color, fit and style. From mock collars to flat brim hats, Arnie wasn’t afraid to try bold styles or make a statement. The impact he made on the golf style world is highlighted more than ever at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where the pros commonly wear pieces to honor Palmer’s legacy. We can all learn a thing or two from Palmer’s style both on and off the course. We’re not saying that these Arnie-inspired products will get a drink named after you, but they certainly will make you feel a little more like a legend.
