Eighty-four-year-old Arnold Palmer, winner of 62 events during his career, including seven major championships, underwent a procedure Monday to install a pacemaker implant to correct an abnormal heartbeat, according to Palmer’s website, www.arnoldpalmer.com.
Palmer will turn 85 on Sept. 10.
The release on Palmer’s website stated:
“Arnold Palmer had successful pacemaker implant surgery today at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh to correct an abnormal heartbeat. He will remain in the hospital for observation overnight and is expected to be released Tuesday.”

    I’m sorry that Kate Upton was not able to jump start his heart.

    Prayers for a healthy recovery Mr. Palmer. I named my child after you in honor of your name, your love for the sport, your history and all you have done for all of us. Rest well and will see you on the course, on the range or the putting green, it’s all terrific.
