Memorial service on Tuesday for Palmer

Bradley becomes first American manager in Premier League

His plane carried his cremated remains for a wide sweep over the airport that bears his name and the town he always called home, the farewell flyover ending with a fullthrottle blast over the runway and a nose-up ascent into the sky. It was the same maneuver Arnold Palmer always enjoyed doing when he piloted his aircraft for 55 years.

Less than an hour later, the remains of the most famous golfer of all-time were spread on a bluff behind the swimming pool at Latrobe Country Club, not far from the 10th tee, right next to where the remains of his first wife, Winnie, were spread when she died 17 years earlier.

Almost magically, a brilliant rainbow stretched across portions of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, letting everyone know the King was playing through.

Tuesday, five days after his family quietly said goodbye in a private ceremony, friends, associates and the public that adored him will remember and celebrate the life of Arnold Palmer at a memorial service at the basilica on the St. Vincent College campus.

The service will be televised live by the Golf Channel.
