A moment of silence and a tangible salute to Arnold Palmer will be part of a celebration of the late golfer’s life at this week’s Ryder Cup matches between US and European golfers.

A tribute to Palmer, who died on Sunday at age 87, will be held on the first tee on Friday’s opening of the competition, the PGA of America said.

US team captain Davis Love and European captain Darren Clarke said the teams would both honour ‘The King’ during the 41st edition of the biennial match play competition.

“We’re still working on the details,” Love told reporters.

“The PGA Tour and the Palmer family created a logo and an Arnie’s Army mention, and I think there’s going to be buttons for the fans and pins for the players.

“As soon as we get those, Darren and I have agreed, whatever we do, we are going to do together.”
