There was no end to the admiration for Jarrod Lyle and his fight against leukemia from his fellow tour pros, both in his native Australia and around the world. In that same vein, when word spread that Lyle had finally succumbed to the cancer on Wednesday, the golf world collectively shed a tear in mourning.

Players and officials had been wearing yellow ribbons for Lyle at recent PGA Tour events and are doing that again this week at the PGA Championship to honor his memory. Several took to social media to offer tributes and condolences to the 36-year-old, who leaves behind a wife and two daughters.

  • Arnold Palmer’s death leaves the golf world mouring its most cherished icon
  • Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Barack Obama lead the tributes

    • The passing of golf’s original icon has sparked an unprecedented outpouring of emotional tributes from the golfing community and beyond. Arnold Palmer died last night aged 87 after suffering heart complications. The American legend, who was known simply as ‘The King’, transcended his sport and played a central role in the global popularization of golf in the 1960s.

    A winner of seven majors, the force of Palmer’s charisma and his competitive spirit captured the imagination of the wider public, and his old rival Jack Nicklaus was among the first to pay tribute.
