Arnold Palmer Hospitalized Before Bay Hill Conclusion

Golf World's Dave Shedloski first Tweeted about Arnold Palmer's absence from the wild 18th hole scene following Tiger Woods's seventh victory, and a Golfweek staff report follows up with more details on Mr. Palmer's hospitalization for high blood pressure.

"I just talked to his daughter Amy (Saunders) who's with him, and I think the blood-pressure situation is starting to ameliorate and improving," Alastair Johnston, the chief operating officer of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, said in a hastily arranged news conference minutes after Tiger Woods' dramatic five-shot victory.

"Nobody is overly concerned about the prognosis, although he is going to remain in the hospital overnight for observation."
