Sunday September 25 was tragic in the world of sports, as one of the brightest young pitchers in MLB, Jose Fernandez, and one of the best golfers of all time, Arnold Palmer, both passed away.

Just like baseball players did upon hearing the news of Jose Fernandez’s death, golfers in the United States and around the world publicly mourned the death of Arnold Palmer.

But it wasn’t just golfers that paid their respects to Palmer.

Shortly after Palmer’s death was announced, the United States Golf Association quickly released the following tribute video.

Another video tribute that began to circulate, was originally released a couple years ago.

It’s hard to argue against that being one of the better SportsCenter commercials released.

Then there was a tweet to The King from The President.

Overall, it was a sad day in the world of sports as one legend and one rising star were taken too soon.
