THIS WEEK MARKS the 50th anniversary of Arnold Palmer’s fourth win at The Masters and prior to this year’s tournament, Gary Player, a 3-time champion, took a moment to tell his favorite story about Palmer.

The incident occurred during a televised tournament in Japan when Palmer, in Players’ words “had a big poop” on the green. One of the tournament officials blamed Player because “Palmer [is] king, he [would] never do it.”
