The Portrait Gallery recognizes the life and accomplishments of golfer and beloved icon Arnold Palmer. Dubbed "The King" by his fans, Palmer's bold style of play and unbelievable comeback wins solidified his status as one of the best to ever step foot on the green. He attracted a massive amount of spectators, known as "Arnie's Army", as well as the media coverage that would elevate the sport of golf to new heights of popularity.

Honor him yourself by visiting his painting on the museum's "In Memoriam" wall, on view now until Oct. 30.
