PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – A local legend will be the face of a new stamp in 2020.
Arnold Palmer will be featured on a nationwide U.S. Postal stamp in 2020, marking the first time the golf legend has been celebrated on a U.S. Postal stamp.
The U.S. Postal Service said that Palmer’s drive and charisma “helped transform a game once seen as a pastime for the elite into a sport enjoyed by the masses.”
“To have my father celebrated in this way is a true honor,” said Amy Saunders, Palmer’s daughter and chairwoman of the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation. “It’s something I think he would be proud of as both an individual and as an American, and it’s a wonderful way to preserve his legacy.”

The stamp will be a “Forever” stamp, which means it will always be equal in value to the current First Class Mail price.
Fellow Latrobe-native, and local legend as well, Fred Rodgers was also featured on a stamp in 2018.
