Written in collaboration with James Dodson, A Golfer’s Life narrates the story of Palmer’s life both on and off the links. He recounts his friendships and rivalries with golf greats, his legendary wins and disappointing setbacks that occurred while aiming to be one the game’s best. He also guides the readers through the more personal details of his life, including his relationship with his father and his marriage to Winnie, as well as his valiant battle against cancer and remarkable recovery. The book is written with humor and candor that are as much Palmer’s trademark as his unique golf swing.

One of the most recognizable names in golf, Arnold Palmer left both a professional and social impression on the sport. Palmer won 62 PGA Tours, to include 4 Masters titles. His charismatic personality and “go for broke” style captivated the era’s rapidly growing television audience, helping to launch the game's popularity to unprecedented levels.
