Obama joins stars in tributes for Palmer

Beloved golf great Arnold Palmer dies

Iconic US golfer Arnold Palmer was recalled on Sunday by the legends he battled and players he inspired as a beloved figure who spawned the modern big-money era with his charm and skill.

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, stars of a newer generation who admired "The King," and Palmer's "Big Three" rivals of the 1960s, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, were among those who mourned Palmer's death Sunday at age 87.

But so was US President Barack Obama, who tweeted a photo of a lesson Palmer gave him in the Oval Office of the White House.

RIP You legend

The start of next year's Par 3 contest at Augusta as the traditional precursor to the Masters is going to have a surreal feel to it.

R.I.P big man!

What killed him?
