Palmer withdrew after playing only four holes of the Administaff Small Business Classic on Friday, then told his loyal fans at the end of the round that he was retiring from tournament play.
Arnold Palmer sheds a tear after announcing his decision to step away from competition. Palmer made the tearful announcement with a large group of "Arnie's Army" huddled around.

"I made every move in the bag today to make a good shot and I wasn't very successful," Palmer said. "That's not surprising. It just didn't come today. It's been working its way into my repertoire. It's tough and it's emotional for me because it's my life."
