There’s been speculation about the return of the first ceremonial Masters starter since the passing of Sam Snead back in 2002. The speculation is over. Arnold Palmer will start the 2007 Masters
“The time was right to make this decision. As you know, Augusta is one of my favorite places and the Masters has meant so much to me personally throughout my career. I have always been treated so warmly there by the patrons. I hope in some way I can show my gratitude to the fans who have followed and supported me these many years.†~Arnold Palmer
