Arnold Palmer has been playing with Lamkin grips for more than 60 years and has been a company spokesman since 1997. “Lamkin grips have been on my clubs throughout my career and carried me through some very memorable moments,” said Palmer. Despite not playing as frequently, he continues to use Lamkin grips and has always been extremely vocal about the importance of the golf grip. “The grip is the only connection a golfer has to their clubs and hitting a golf ball.”

To put the once-in-a-lifetime sweepstakes opportunity into proper perspective, consider the awe-inspiring accomplishments of Arnold Palmer. A winner of seven major championships during his prolific professional career on the PGA Tour which started in 1954, Palmer won four Masters (1958, ’60, ’62 and ’64), back-to-back British Open championships (1961 and ’62), and a U.S. Open title in 1960. Arnold Palmer amassed 92 worldwide championships during his professional career. He is widely considered one of the greatest players and golf ambassadors in the history of the game. His immense contributions, both as a golfer and humanitarian, were recently acknowledged with a Congressional Gold Medal. During the award ceremony, Congressional House Speaker John Boehner called Arnold Palmer a “model of integrity, passion and commitment.”

In addition to the grand prize, Lamkin is offering up dozens of first and second-place prizes that will include Arnold Palmer autographed memorabilia, a golf shopping spree at Dick’s Sporting Goods, EA SPORTS Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 14 video games, Arnold Palmer Half & Half drinks from Arizona Beverage Company and, of course, Lamkin golf grips.
