Look: Arnold Palmer plaque becomes makeshift memorial at Wyndham Championship

Arnold Palmer never won the Wyndham Championship in his illustrious career, but that didn't stop tournament organizers from adding his name to Wall of Champions.

The plaque, which was unveiled with grandson Sam Saunders earlier in the week, reads:

Widely considered the most important figure in golf and one of the most influential players in Wyndham Championship history, Arnold Palmer had five top five finishes in 13 appearances at Sedgefield. In 1963, Palmer established the Buddy Worsham Memorial Scholarship at Wake Forest University in memory of his friend and teammate who died in a car accident while in school. Since that time, scholarship winners have been a consistent presence in the tournament field, always with great appreciation and admiration for Arnie.

On Saturday, the monument just behind the ninth green at Sedgefield Country Club had a number of Palmer-related items placed above the plaque.

The seven-time major champion passed away last September at the age of 87.
