The late Arnold Palmer was a larger-than-life presence for nearly 50 years at Bay Hill Club and Lodge.
Palmer will remain so in spirit, but also now an impressive likeness of The King will loom over the 1st and 10th tee boxes at the course he made famous.
A 13-foot, 1,392-pound bronze statue of Palmer will be unveiled at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Bay Hill. The statue is a replica of one of Palmer at Wake Forest University, his alma mater, and depicts the unique and recognizable follow-through of his powerful golf swing.
