Happy 97th Birthday, Arnold Palmer

September 10, 2026


Today, September 10th, we celebrate what would have been Arnold Palmer's 97th birthday. It's a day worth pausing for; not just because Mr. Palmer's name is on our company, but because of what he stood for and how we aspire to honor his legacy. He lived by the Golden Rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. No exceptions, no shortcuts. That's not a slogan; it's our standard.

It’s been almost a decade since the tournament was contested there in Irving, Texas; and yet, in that time, the club—and its marquee course—has only grown stronger.
