Overview

In 2011, Golf Digest created the Arnie Awards to celebrate the outstanding efforts of men and women who exemplified Palmer’s passion for giving back. In partnership with the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, Golf Digest presents recipients of our annual Arnie Awards—our highest honor—with a trophy-size version of a seven-foot Palmer bronze sculpture created by artist Zenos Frudakis.
