Palmer at Masters with Jack Nicklaus

Arnold Palmer will play in the Wells Fargo Championship pro-am on May 4th and be paired with his grandson.

The tournament announced this week that Palmer will play with Sam Saunders, who is getting a sponsor exemption to play in the PGA Tour event at Quail Hollow. Club president Johnny Harris will complete the threesome.

The 81-year-old Palmer won 62 times on the PGA Tour, including seven major championships. 

He also helped oversee the modification of several holes at Quail Hollow in 1986.
