Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day have joined the tributes to the great Arnold Palmer, after his death Sunday at the age of 87.
Palmer was recognized as one of golf's "Big Three" alongside the legendary Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player during a golden era for the sport in the 1960s.

McIlroy, Spieth and Day were labeled by some as golf's new "Big Three" at the end of the 2015 season.
And the trio were among the game's top talents to pay homage to the seven-time major winner, alongside the likes of President Obama, Zach Johnson, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia.
So sad to hear Mr. Palmer has passed away. He touched us all and was an incredible role model. The KING.
