Loved his quote about being happy any time congress agreed on something. Classic

I agree. And, he so deserves this award for bringing golf to the masses with his charisma and talent. The right man at the right time. Perfect for the new tv audience.

Way to go Arnie. I hope Tiger gets one.

I assume this is for his incredible contribution to the cold beverage world.

**Gofthooxdix** · 09-21-2012, 03:36 PM

Congrats to the King for a well deserved and long overdue Crowning!

**Niiinioa** · 09-21-2012, 05:51 PM

Congress gave him the medal, then after the ceremony gave him the tax bill for it.

**Pwy9egVW** · 09-21-2012, 09:09 PM

He's always been a class act and is a great ambassador for our sport and nation!

**Maydayvar** · 09-21-2012, 10:49 PM

I saw this earlier and think it's awesome. Congrats to him.

**DrunkMans** · 09-21-2012, 11:21 PM

Awesome stuff right there. The King is certainly an ambassador of the sport and a true gentleman.

Congratulations to the King.

Only 5 other athletes have received this honor including Byron Nelson. It is nice to see Congress get something right in honoring this legend of the game we all love.

**Roneyslelry** · 09-22-2012, 03:24 AM

Far over due! Palmer ushered golf into what we 'see' today. Glad they finally gave him his due.

**SergeyMaikov** · 09-22-2012, 03:25 AM

Well deserved....truly well deserved.
