Some highlights of the interview include the story of Palmer’s love for the game, popularising the sport on television, playing international tournaments and building a golf relationship across the atlantic ocean, the rise of Indian and Chinese players, his dog named Mulligan and just the joy of flying across the world in his own plane. Palmer is a story of many big and different ideas and this series on golfingindian.com promises to bring rare conversations to life.

 

Palmer is generally regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s professional golf. He has won numerous events on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955. He remains one of golf’s most popular stars and its most important trailblazer, because he was the first superstar of the sport’s television age, which began in the 1950s. Palmer’s social impact on behalf of golf was perhaps unrivalled among fellow professionals; Palmer’s humble background and plain-spoken popularity helped change the perception of golf as an elite, upper-class pastime to a more democratic sport accessible to middle and working classes.
