The PGA Tour Champions is on the west coast (very smart of them) for the Toshiba Classic.
Prior to round number two at Newport Beach CC, the senior tour players honored Arnold Palmer in a colorful, and very cool, way.
Salute. #ArniesArmy https://t.co/VtaQTYao41

During a moment of silence for The King, all the players popped open a signature Arnold Palmer Bay Hill umbrella – at the same time, all across the golf course at Newport Beach CC.

This tribute is fitting, not only because Palmer is a golf icon, but for the role he played in building and growing the Senior PGA Tour, now known as the PGA Tour Champions Tour (or something like that).
