New Arrival - getting lots of Press
The 50-year duel of Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus propelled each to the status of American icon and helped transform a gentleman's game into a major American sport with a dedicated following.
These two golf rivals were totally different in both their personalities, and their approach to the game that made them rich and famous.
Through access to both players and hundreds of interviews, the author explores their extreme differences and sprawling influences through mini-dramas such as the 1962 U.S. Open.
Each wanted what the other had, and despite being rivals, and some say not overly fond of one another, they both recognize and respect the impact each other had on the game.
Read O'Connor's portrayal of what many might consider to be, one of the most fascinating rivalries in American Sports History.
A must read for Palmer and Nicklaus fans.
