New York, NY - (January 31, 2012) - Music fans will converge on Orlando this March to take part in a memorable concert event while supporting the battle against cancer.

The first-ever Music for Champions concert will take place on Monday, March 19, 2012 at Hard Rock Live Orlando. Proceeds from the concert will jointly benefit Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and T.J. Martell Foundation for Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS Research. The concert will kick off the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard.

As part of this multi-year agreement, Moore will exclusively wear Arnie during all competitions, display the logo on his shirts, make appearances on behalf of the company and be featured in its marketing initiatives.

"Mr. Palmer is among my all-time idols as a golfer and a person, so competing in these clothes and being so closely associated with his style legacy is a dream come true," says Moore. "The research that went into each piece is really evident and when you combine those timeless elements with advanced technical fabrics you've got something great."

"We are extremely proud to partner with Publix this year as a new outlet for our fans to purchase tournament tickets and by doing so raise money for our hospitals." said Tournament Director Scott Wellington.

The Palmer Pavilion ticket is an upgraded Weekly Badge which includes access to tournament grounds, Palmer Pavilion Hospitality venue, and on-site parking when space is available. The Palmer Pavilion tent is an indoor/outdoor venue on the 18th Fairway providing great golf viewing in a comfortable and unique environment that is themed throughout with Arnold Palmer memorabilia. The outside patio faces the fairway and is a perfect spot to have lunch or a drink and enjoy the golf.

Palmer, 82, was playing a friendly round with Dick Ferris, Bill Damron, Bruce Walters and Will Carey.

The Callaway staff pro icon teed up on the 163-yard hole with a brand new Callaway Razr XF 5-iron, the first time he used that set of clubs.

"Wow, that felt good!" said Palmer.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Even two years later, the renovation of the Bay Hill Club & Lodge continues to be praised and cherished.

Critics have blasted changes at some other high-profile tournament courses -- notably Dubsdread at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club near Chicago and the West Course at the Wentworth Club in England -- but not Bay Hill.

Members, guests, managers and, most important, the PGA Tour pros who tee it up every March in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, have embraced Palmer's thoughtful work to the bunkers and green complexes. The new grass on the greens, Emerald Bermuda, has been deemed "the right fit" by all. The renovation, which was completed Sept. 10, 2009, gives the King another reason to celebrate his birthday each year.

Golf offering the lengthy competitive window (for many) that it does, a couple of generations of younger PGA Tour pros got the opportunity not only to see Arnold Palmer play, but to play with or against one of the sport's most magnetic figures in a tournament. It's striking, though, that two of the brightest lights in today's landscape, Rory Mcllroy and Rickie Fowler, both 22, weren't born when Palmer won for the last time on the Champions Tour, at the 1988 Crestar Classic. Palmer celebrated his 82nd birthday Saturday, and while this one passed much more quietly than his 80th, which was appropriately feted in 2009, it still offers another occasion to remember Palmer and his relevance to those golfers who have come after him. It is comforting to see players such as Mcllroy and Fowler (above, with Palmer), who are gallery favorites because they don't forget that the fans are there, that the fans make their lives possible, that the fans deserve a smile or a wink, that the fans like to see a golfer enjoying his work. That was something Palmer never forgot. The graciousness that came so naturally to Palmer on the course-and still does, in his life as businessman, tournament host, grandfather, elder statesman-is something any tour pro, man or woman, can aspire to. That was Palmer's present to them all.

The show was taped early in the week of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill last month. It includes a conversation with Gay and his wife Kimberly at their home in Orlando and footage from a rollicking performance by Rascal Flatts at the Palmer Invitational pro-am party.

Orlando, Fla. - Talk about a reversal of fortunes.

Trailing by three shots with four to play, Martin Laird picked up a pair of birdies and two clutch pars to claim the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday, becoming the first European to win the tournament in its 33-year history.

Laird, who led the field by two strokes heading into the final round, struggled mightily for most of the round, giving up the lead to Steve Marino on the back nine. Laird hit into the water on No. 11 for double bogey and a bogey on No. 14 put him three shots behind.

Laird started to climb back with birdies on Nos. 15 and 16, and made clutch pars on Nos. 17 and 18 to secure his second PGA Tour victory. Meanwhile, an ill-timed double bogey from Marino on No. 17 gave Laird a chance to win the tournament with a par on No. 18.

The Scot followed through with a two-putt from just inside 90 feet to seal the victory.

After a 2-under 70 Saturday on the Championship Course at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Laird will begin the final round here with a two-shot lead over Californian Spencer Levin, giving him a chance to become the first European winner of this tournament, now in its 33rd year.  Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and Rod Pampling are the only international champions here.

On another sun-splashed day at Bay Hill, Mickelson fired a 3-under-par 69, and he will enter today’s final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard in a tie for 20th place at 2-under 214. The 1997 winner of Palmer’s prestigious invitational, Mickelson carded six birdies against three bogeys on the Championship Course.

“I hit the ball great, and I’ve hit the ball great all week,” said Saunders, 23, the grandson of the tournament host. “It was actually a pretty easy round; not a lot of drama.”

Well, not a lot of drama if you don’t count the 11th hole, where Saunders hit a 3-wood off the tee and into the right side of the fairway. The ball traveled 278 yards. The clubhead went 60 yards. It seems the epoxy holding the clubhead to the shaft gave out. It ended up near the rope line in the left rough.
